Happy sixth birthday WordPress!

January 24, 2009 By

Six years ago WordPress was born, according to Matt Mullenweg who founded and runs the company that makes it, Automattic. My blog here is hosted on WordPress.com and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to see what Matt does in the next six years. He has a few ideas, as he told me recently in an interview I did with him.

    Six years old and look how mature the product is already! I mean you can just see the improvements in various wordpress installations. I know many people who do not like to use wordpress because of some of the security issues but these get resolved extremely quickly. WordPress has been the cornerstone of my website network for a long time now and will be in the future.

    And then when they released 2.3 in 2007 they periodically gathered your server information.

    Sneaky guys with a popular product.
