We’re getting geared up to celebrate the 10th anniversary of WordPress (and if you’re in Atlanta please stop by!) and it’s more than a good time to remember how far we’ve come as a piece of software and a community. Something that was shared recently in our comment section was a new infographic that visually shares some of these neat facts – take a look after the jump:
How Has WordPress Changed Your Life?
When I was down in Atlanta for WordCamp back in March, while we were gathering to eat some Yum Diggity at the VIP after party, John shared a few words with everyone that have stuck with me. He said something along these lines: Everyone in this room is here because of an open source piece of software. We’re able to share our stories, build our businesses and feed our families because of it. Think about that for a second, how awesome is that!? It is pretty remarkable, if you sit and think about that for a few minutes. An open […]

WordPress and Alpha App.net
I’m incredibly hesitant to join another social network because I’m currently under-going a significant personal purge of distractions but App.net keeps coming back to hit me and I keep getting asked when I’m going to seriously take a look at it and start using it. The main reason that I’m not using it primarily is simply because the community I have around Twitter is long-standing and large and it’s not easy for me to abandon something that’s a big part of not only my daily routine of connection but also a source of valuable information about what’s going on in the […]
wpxtreme Launches Newest Beta
Recently, beta 4 for wpxtreme went live. It includes a good amount of changes and additions from the previous version of wpxtreme. The first noticeable difference is the homepage.
