WordPress celebrates 10 years!
Click the picture above for a look back from one of the co-founders, Mark Little, or here for the love letter from the other co-founder, Matt Mullenweg.
WordPress started as a blogging platform 10 years plus 1 day ago. Over all these years, it has grown up to be a powerful content management system (CMS) that allows you to create a full website beyond its blogging functionality. Actually, some have said that it’s the largest CMS in the world, powering 18% of internet’s websites.
In case you haven’t noticed it, WordPress comes in two “flavours”:
- WordPress.com – a free-hosting web platform that saves you the step of installing its software in exchange of having some limitations in its functionality and formatting. Limitations that you can pay to remove
- WordPress.org – which is the hub for all WordPress. There you can download the engine so you can self-host it, find plugins, themes, support … and much more
So today we say…
Congratulations WordPress!
