I had the good fortune to celebrate this milestone with a few hundred WordPressers at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://2011.montreal.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Montreal</a>聽yesterday. (During my Town Hall I wasn’t aware we had passed the number until someone shouted from the audience.) It’s always fun to pass a big round number and over the weekend many libations were consumed with friends old and new, but ultimately the press has always been more concerned with those top-line numbers than we have in the WordPress community. More sites being created is a good benchmark for our adoption, but ultimately WordPress matters not for the blogs it creates but for the lives it affects. We have some huge opportunities this year, particularly around making our software more accessible to the next 50 or 500 million people who want to have a voice online, something I hope to talk more about <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://2011.sf.wordcamp.org/">at WordCamp San Francisco next month</a>.</p> </div> </article><article> <div class="datedot"> <abbr class="published" title="2011-07-08T13:22:23+00:00"> <span class="month">Jul</span><br/> <span class="day">8</span> </abbr> </div> <div class="post-38344 post type-post status-publish format-link hentry category-asides tag-press entry-content"> <a class="entry-comment-count" title="Comments on Future of WordPress聽Q&A" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://ma.tt/2011/07/future-of-wordpress-qa/#comments"> <span class="count">2</span> </a> <p>Memeburn has a new interview up: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://memeburn.com/2011/07/the-future-of-wordpress-qa-with-founder-matt-mullenweg/">The future of WordPress: Q&A with founder Matt Mullenweg</a>.   <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://ma.tt/2011/07/future-of-wordpress-qa/">∞</a></p> </div> <div class="post-38342 post type-post status-publish format-link hentry category-asides entry-content"> <div class="single-dashed"></div> <a class="entry-comment-count" title="Comments on Tribe鈥檚 Fourth: Jarobi聽White" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://ma.tt/2011/07/tribes-fourth-jarobi-white/#comments"> <span class="count">1</span> </a> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2011/07/07/what_exactly_does_jarobi_white_the_mysterious_fourth_member_of_a.html">What Exactly Does Jarobi White, the Mysterious Fourth Member of A Tribe Called Quest, Actually Do?</a> He has a WordPress blog, for one. <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336im_/http://s.ma.tt/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley"/>    <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://ma.tt/2011/07/tribes-fourth-jarobi-white/">∞</a></p> </div> </article><article> <div class="datedot"> <abbr class="published" title="2011-07-07T11:45:01+00:00"> <span class="month">Jul</span><br/> <span class="day">7</span> </abbr> </div> <div class="post-38340 post type-post status-publish format-link hentry category-asides entry-content"> <a class="entry-comment-count" title="Comments on Macaque聽self-portrait" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://ma.tt/2011/07/macaque-self-portrait/#comments"> <span class="count">4</span> </a> <p>Check out this amazing story of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2011051/Black-macaque-takes-self-portrait-Monkey-borrows-photographers-camera.html">a black macaque monkey that picks up a photographer’s camera and takes self-portraits</a>.   <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://ma.tt/2011/07/macaque-self-portrait/">∞</a></p> </div> </article><article> <div class="datedot"> <abbr class="published" title="2011-07-06T02:25:45+00:00"> <span class="month">Jul</span><br/> <span class="day">6</span> </abbr> </div> <div class="post-38338 post type-post status-publish format-link hentry category-asides entry-content"> <a class="entry-comment-count" title="Comments on More Zen, Less聽Plus" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://ma.tt/2011/07/more-zen-less-plus/#comments"> <span class="count">0</span> </a> <p>Richard MacManus asks <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/more_zen_less_plus.php">Is More Zen, Less Plus The Way to Go?</a>.   <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://ma.tt/2011/07/more-zen-less-plus/">∞</a></p> </div> </article><article> <div class="datedot"> <abbr class="published" title="2011-07-05T10:44:36+00:00"> <span class="month">Jul</span><br/> <span class="day">5</span> </abbr> </div> <div class="post-38334 post type-post status-publish format-aside hentry category-asides entry-content"> <a class="entry-comment-count" title="Comments on 3.2 Video &聽Design" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://ma.tt/2011/07/3-2-video-design/#comments"> <span class="count">13</span> </a> <p>As you may have seen, the WordPress community <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110714010336/http://wordpress.org/news/2011/07/gershwin/">released version 3.2 “Gershwin” yesterday</a>.
