Wow, things keep getting better and better in terms of hosting options directly from WordPress themselves as now we have another great (and much more affordable) option for high profile sites with WordPress Enterprise. At $500 per month it’s a far easier stretch than the $3,000+ plus option with their VIP Services, which some of the major players in the world are using. Matt Mullenweg shared his thoughts via his blog saying: ou get 90% of the benefit of VIP — scalability, security, upgrades, 70+ audited plugins, full JavaScript access — for 10% of the cost, or about $500 a […]

This is my personal WordPress Epiphany. You probably can’t go too far into a discussion about blogging before the topic turns to WordPress – maybe two or three sentences at most.

Sure, the rate has slowed a bit since the first 24 hours but I’m pretty darn sure that in the next 24 hours we’ll be passing the 1,000,000 download mark – a fantastic run so soon! As a product guy it just floors me to think that any application can have such a presence as to get millions of downloads for every. single. version. If WordPress was commercial it would be a dream for a financially motivated company. Stoked to see it grow even bigger than the previous numbers from 3.4, which Ryan Imel captured as north of 28MM downloads and then […]
