Fifty Thousand

By Matt. Filed under Uncategorized.

Fifty thousand is a big number, but over 50,000 of you have downloaded WordPress 1.5 in the two weeks since it’s been released. The rapid uptake of the Strayhorn release has been surprising and rewarding, and I thought this milestone was a perfect opportunity to say thank you for making WordPress part of your world. Let’s celebrate by helping a friend set up a blog or upgrade to 1.5 and by sharing your knowledge and patience on the support forums.

  7. Heuristic Blog 1.5

    Finished upgrading WordPress to the latest release, 1.5 “Strayhorn”. I kept on putting off the upgrade because I knew that something was bound to go wrong, and I hadn’t got the time (or patience) to fix it if it did.

    It seems my pessimism was un…
