WordPress is a connector of creatives, ideas, dreams, and communities. I’ve enjoyed seeing how the software has progressed and changed to help folks all around the world thrive on the web!

WordPress came into my life at the age of 50. As a result, I am surrounded with amazing people and rich with the beauty of open source. Happy Birthday WordPress, and kudos to the entire community.

WordPress turns 19! The software and the community allowed me to learn and grow in all areas of my life. Glad to see it is getting strong everyday. Congrats and thanks everyone! Code is Poetry

I’ve been using WordPress since it was 4! Having spent the last 15 years working on web projects using WordPress, I have seen the power it has had to empower people to tell their story.

I started working with WordPress in 2009 and it’s been an amazing ride so far! I love the mission and values behind this Open Source project. Long live WordPress and cheers for another year!

I cannot imagine where my life would be without WordPress. It is the foundation on which I’ve built my career, many of my friendships, and countless memories.

Happy WordPress anniversary, It’s so much happiness to see the growth of internet at the hand of so big innovations and how it has helped millions and more to have their presence in the web, thanks!

I have been using WordPress since version 0.72 and have been part of the community since the early days. While I’m probably not widely known, WordPress has defined my career for almost 17 years now!

WordPress has enabled me to make a living for nearly two decades and in the process, help others create their space on the web. My life, and so many others, have been positively impacted by WordPress.

From a newbie blogger discovering and sharing food to an advanced developer creating sites for businesses, charities, and communities WordPress has done it all.  19 years of beauty, creation, and wonder all in one.  I cannot wait to see what the community does next.

To the software and community that have given me a fun career and time for my family. Can’t think of a more supportive, creative, and hard-working group of folks. Y’all make WordPress awesome 🙌 🥳 !

I cannot imagine the web without WordPress. Yes, it’s powered many of our careers but it is so much more. How many writers have gotten their work out there? How many people could follow a dream?

Happy 19th birthday, WordPress. May you and the open web have a bright future ahead!

Hello WordPress friends! I am so proud of everything we’ve accomplished together in just 19 short years. Thank you to everyone who has helped make WordPress uniquely wonderful, with special thanks & thoughts to the people we’ve lost along the way. 💙

WordPress quite literally changed my life: it affords me independence through a sustaining career; friendships globally; and close friends who have become like family to me. I honestly don’t know what my life would be without WordPress.

WordPress made it possible to own, shape, and constantly improve our own tools and creative work on the web. When you bring clients or friends into that kind of independence, it feels good. It’s a win for everyone because it’s a community project. It’s always centered around people and relationships where freedom is the foundational value.

I do not see the WordPress software being forgotten anytime soon, if anything, its journey is just beginning, and there is one big reason behind this – the community behind the software.

Working with WordPress has been great for me personally and for my business. The greatest thing though, has been the people I’ve met and relationships that I have built from across the country and around the world, that I would not have otherwise.

WordPress has opened doors for so many around the world – it is on us to ensure we continue creating opportunity for so many more.

It’s remarkable how the WordPress Open Source Project has evolved and remained meaningful.

WordPress is freedom to me in every sense of the world — it’s given me the freedom to both create sites and create a life that I never thought in my wildest dreams I could have.

WordPress – both the software and the community of people who make and use it – have changed my life for the better, allowing me to develop a new career, make many proper friends, and be a part of something that has truly changed the world.

Being part of the WordPress economy and community has given me opportunities I’d never have dreamed! It’s given me the gift of work I deeply enjoy and genuine friendships with people around the world.

WordPress is turning 19! That’s almost as old as I am! Remarkable. A piece of software which I once viewed as ‘quite interesting’, has now become the backbone of my business and the source of many of my most cherished friendships.

For me, it’s exciting to both be in a community and use software that is older than I am. Happy 19th Anniversary WordPress!
