It’s been five years since Matt released WordPress 0.7. I think it’s quite an accomplishment that (and how) WordPress has managed to evolve into a very mature blogging solution with all the right features and no bloat whatsoever. I switched to WP (from Movable Type, like so many others) in 2005, and it has since become my favorite CMS solution. I’ve been using it professionally for a while now, and have made quite a few customers very happy.

So here’s to you, WordPress. May you continue to evolve the way you did!

1. Are you a WordPress professional?
2. How to show each post’s date in WordPress
3. WordPress MU
4. WordPress 2.2.3 – Changed files
5. Is anyone still using WordPress 2.3 or earlier?
