Wordpress 2.7 Scores a Perfect 10

Submitted by Ryan Spoon on February 22, 2009 – 1:02 pmComments

I have always been a major Wordpress fan and used any opportunity to plug both Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org.

Now – I have an even greater reason to speak their praises: Wordpress 2.7 is exceptional. I have been using the latest version at Widgetbox’s blog for a few weeks – and just recently upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.7.1.

Mind you I have used countless different versions up to this point – all of which were more evolutionary than profoundly new or different. With the latest version – that changes. For instance, moving from Wordpress 2.3 to 2.7 is almost entirely a new experience (from the interface to the feature-set to the available plugins and so forth).

What strikes me about Wordpress is what also what strikes me about eBay, Google and other web giants:

They have enabled millions of users to create content and create businesses / economies around it. From professional bloggers to (more interestingly….) developers and designers (plugins, themes, etc) – there is an entire economy based off the popularity and flexibility of Wordpress. This was one of the most satisfying parts of working at eBay – enabling millions of people to create value through the platfrom – either directly or tangentially.

  • Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage bloggers to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.

  • I'm not a big fan of wordpress, but it seems that they were doing well, I'm also wordpress 2.7 and I was convinced that they upgraded to become much better.
