Great timing too as it’s going to be difficult to forget when the proposal was officially as it’s so close to WordPress’ own birthday. If you’re a guy then you know this as it can be incredibly tough to remember particular and important dates! Congrats to Daniel Bachhuber who proposed at a Rodeo this past Sunday! He shares more of his story (and asking for Leah’s hand in marriage via his future father-in-law) on his own blog.
One more 10 Year Celebration blog post, why not, right? Sure. The cutest WordPresser of them all? Love it. My own 2 girls would have spelled it exactly the same.
Wow, did you survive yesterday? There were apparently 646 cities that participated with nearly 5,000 people having a great time, all in the name of WordPress! The WP10 Site was rockin’ all night on one of our flat-panels in our office at our party here in Atlanta and it was neat to see shots from all over the world from our amazing community! Here are a few pictures specifically of cakes and yummies from WP10:
Ever wanted to customize the look and feel of the WordPress admin, but weren’t sure where to start? Noel Tock is working on a new book that will give you all the information you need to make a fully custom admin panel for your site. Noel has written quite a bit on WordPress and other platforms, so it’s no surprise he’s taking on this topic, since it’s something that many people would love to learn about, but there are few resources for it available. Noel shares the following outline in his post about the book:
Courtesy of WP Engineer and MarketPress, there’s a sweet infographic that’s celebrating the 10 years of WordPress! Check it out after the jump:
The 10th Anniversary Party for WordPress has already kicked up into high gear as people from all over the world are celebrating in their own unique way – over 670 parties worldwide! And there is one site to rule them all:
Matt Mullenweg is everywhere as he’s not only one of the founders of WordPress but also the leader of the largest WordPress commercial business, Automattic. But he was just one of the founders of WordPress, the other being Mike Little, who doesn’t get as much press time as he deserves. A lot of this is by choice and so there aren’t any hard feelings about it. Every once in a while Mike does an interview and such and he surfaces. But in the upcoming SAScon 2013 event he’s going to be honored publicly as an “unsung internet visionary” and the title is pretty […]
Now isn’t this a clever idea? Why not boot the WordPress Game Show via Detroit’s 2011 WordCamp at the 10th Anniversary Party that you’re having on Monday? Of course, no cheating!
Pressnomics, one of the few events that focus exclusively on WordPress and business, is fast approaching and the invitations are being sent out as we speak – in fact, you may already have them if you’re close by and local to Josh and his team. It’s open to everyone but there are some people and organizations that they are trying to explicitly encourage to show up at the event: While the event is open to all WordPress-centric business owners, we feel it is important to try to ensure specific people are in attendance: Those that are actively shaping and driving […]
In a blog post this morning Matt Mullenweg, one of the founders of WordPress, shares that Tiger Global has invested over $50M in his company, Automattic. This isn’t a new capital round or series round – rather, it’s based on secondary stock purchases so that earlier investors can “lock in some returns” which releases pressure for a much larger liquidity event. Tiger Global joins the likes of Polaris Partners, True Ventures, Radar Partners, and the New York Times Company all who have stake in the growing company. As Toni Schneider shares in his blog post, Tiger isn’t a small player (although a more “behind the scenes” […]
