Happy Birthday WordPress

May 27th, 2012

WordPress is 9 years old today and has announced the availability of the first release candidate (RC1) of the next version, 3.4, which I’ve just installed on my local MAMP stack.

So far, there’s no sign of a new “TwentyTwelve” theme. However, there is a new theme previewer/activator that allows an administrator to set a number of theme options and see how they look before saving the options and activating the theme. It’s really nifty. I’ll have more on the new version after the weekend.

But, I also wanted to share my excitement on attending a wonderful event last Thursday and getting to meet Matt Mullenweg, the creator of WordPress and CEO of Automattic. The event was the first in a series of monthly “fireside chats” organized by Pandodaily.com. Matt was interviewed by Sarah Lacy, the founder and editor-in-chief of PandoDaily. It was a long, free-wheeling and thoroughly enjoyable interview and Q&A. My thanks to Howard Greenstein for  getting me in to the event.

Happy Memorial Day!
Larry Aronson
