In present day, it’s almost impossible to believe that WordPress has only recently entered the double-digit age, clocking in at just over 10 years old. The disbelief comes in when one looks at just how quickly WordPress, and the community and products surrounding it, have evolved. Today, we’ll be taking a brief look back in time to how WordPress products have evolved. Meet, Classic and Kubrick. Surely everyone remembers Kubrick, right? Do you remember Classic as well?
