WordPress is simply amazing! I use wordpress for every single one of my blogs. I will support them until the day I die (as corny as it sounds, it is highly possible) Thanks wordpress, I really appreciate it .

At an earlier date I thought Joomla had the upper hand over WordPress, however now after the release of the new version 3.0, I believe WordPress is a a winner.

For all the good of that day, I was surprised to see all the plastic water bottles at a cool California event. Hope next camp day you’ll give out stainless steel water bottles instead of yet another carry-bag. Or if that’s too costly for you, make plastic bottles not allowed on the premises, and let people know that requirement ahead of time (with registration); they can bring their own or you can sell them.

Plastic=oil=ocean health…you get the picture. Thanks.

Matt is a great guy. I liked that question about BBPress, that it will be a plugin to WordPress in the future. I know that for now the first thing is work on WP 3.0, but please, don’t forget BBPress, and thank you for everything, I love WP and the 3.0 version will complete my best dreams.

Four years ago I began building websites, but not with the idea of becoming a web developer. The initial motivation for me was to sell products; my chain saw carvings of all things. Imagine that a General Building Contractor trying to sell his artwork, and building his own site. I started with static sites and quickly progressed to dynamic.

Enter Joomla the wonderful world of dynamic content, and the impossible world of complexity. After several sites that loaded like lethargic sloths I went back to static sites just for the speed.

Fast forward two years ago I found WordPress. Every site I have built since then has been a WordPress site. From the onset I found WordPress intuitive, progressive, and something I could believe in.

Today I have built a small web development company where 50% of my total personal income comes from developing WordPress sites. Not bad for a guy who 10 years ago wouldn’t even own a computer, but wouldn’t have been possible without a platform and community like WordPress.

With the decline of construction WordPress filled in the gaps for me by providing a usable platform from which to build an entire business from. My story is a testimony to the user friendliness, and the ability of those users to take their work to the next level. For myself, my happy clients, and what I see as a future full of possibility I want to thank everyone responsible for the WordPress phenomenon.

Great work Matt, team, developers, and community.

Matt, there is a Thunderbird extension called SendTools which allowed future scheduling of emails, however the author hasn’t updated it to support the latest Thunderbird.

WordPress has changed my life. It is the perfect marriage of Geek and Creative, and I can’t wait for 3.0. Fantastic video…thanks for sharing.
