Today is the unofficial official International Wordpress Day.
Allow me to say, Thanks!
I’ve been using Wordpress for 4 years and 3 months, and can’t imagine switching to another platform, like, ever. But what’s so great about it?
- It’s got a great community of support. Whenever I have a problem with my blog, I know I can go to the Wordpress forums and learn that someone else has had my issue before, and solved it quickly.
- It’s got a great community of plugin writers. I use no less thatn 13 plugins, for everything from killing comment spam to inserting those cute images I have plugged in to my posts, to showing my flickr pictures (neglected as of late) in the sidebar.
- It’s got a great community of themers. I’d try out new stuff, but I’m an old grump and set in my ways… I changed themes over a year ago but I’m so set in my ways that the one I switched to looks almost exactly like the one I switched FROM.
Congrats to you, Matt and the rest of the Automattic team, and here’s to your continued success.
