From 75 cents to 750 clients! Love that.

Isn’t it amazing how something free can create not just jobs but an entire industry upon which lives are dependent. I saw the vision early but so many couldn’t get the “how does WordPress make money” question. You’ve seen it. Lived it.

Thanks for your response, and for your kind words.

@Kris: isn’t it amazing how much WordPress infiltrates your entire life? LOL! Revolution is a good word for what WordPress and Matt Mullenweg has done. As a political science student (former but I think he’s a student of life sciences as well as politics), revolution would indeed be a wonderful word to use to describe this. Love it! Thanks!

Yes, Happy Birthday, WordPress and to Matt! WordPress has been nothing short of a miracle for me and what I’ve been able to accomplish. WordPress has allowed me to have a beautiful and functioning site that I’ve done myself (with help from the forums!) that otherwise I would not have tackled or had to pay someone every time I wanted to make a change – which is often. Happy new year, Lorelle!
