Happy Birthday WordPress
WordPress is celebrating its fifth birthday today. Having started off with the 0.7 release in 2003, the software application has certainly come a very long way since. Thousands of bloggers have taken to WordPress and wouldn’t consider any other platform.
I’ve taken some screen shots on how the site developed over time, from the very first one all the way to today. Enjoy.

WordPress Today
As you can see, WordPress had a few face changes over the years too. If you are living or happening to be in San Francisco tonight, you can attend the WordPress party at 111 Minna, starting at 9PM.
For Sydney, Australia revelers, the party has already started as I’m writing this. If you are fast and keen, you can always throw together your own impromptu WordPress party to pay homage to the service.

@ Praval: Thank you for the nice words. I’m certainly proud to be part of the WordPress community, that’s for sure.
@ Kay: haven’t they just! It is so cool to see the transformation of any website after some time. This just shows how much we all grow, including bigger businesses.
Hip hip hurray….three big cheers for WordPress.
Wordpress has come a long way since 2003! The most important thing that the founders/dev team decided was to make it an open source project and that drove the growth! Gongrats to the founders/dev team and all who have contributed themes and plugins over the years!
