I went and made a one-column, no-header-image, version of Twenty Ten using the Custom CSS upgrade. Madness.
I (currently—you know how these things are with your personal blog, right?) plan on actually making this look like something but in the meantime, here’s the current custom CSS I’m adding to the Twenty Ten stylesheet.
Today is the the 7th anniversary of the release of WordPress and today I’d like to say how thankful I am for it’s existence. I am.
WordPress is being used around the world, every day, to enrich our lives. It’s a tool that makes anyone a publisher. Think of the revolution that followed the printing press. Now imagine the printing press as a portable device anyone could carry with them—for free—sending pamphlets, essays, literature, and poetry, out around the world instantly.
Imagine that. It’s amazing.
So, thank you, WordPress. And by that I mean thank you to everyone working on WordPress; everyone contributing plugins and themes; everyone writing about WordPress; and everyone using WordPress. Thank you for keeping this ball rolling.
Here’s to many more: cheers.
What cooking has taught me about excellence: It’s easier to be excellent—or, at least, to get on that path towards it—when you surround yourself with opportunities to fail comfortably.
