đź”™ Throwback Thursday for 2024-10-03
Celebrating 21 years of WordPress and its dramatic evolution in the web landscape!
🙏 And a big thanks to all our sponsors! 🙏

21 years ago, WordPress was released and would go on to power hundreds of millions of websites. In fact, WordPress powered my own blog(s) and personal websites for many years before I migrated to headless CMS alternatives.
