WordPress has just turned 9 years-old, which may not a diamond jubilee but is still pretty impressive. WordPress is the open-source communication management system that has helped make blogging a household activity and has had such an effect on online publishing that some of the world\u2019s most popular sites run on it.<\/p>\n

WordPress continues to innovate and inspire thanks to the ongoing work of Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little as well as all the theme and plugin developers who make their products available for free. Thanks to them, WordPress has spawned a huge following of users, Wordheads if you will, who are helping people to use this powerful platform through seminars, webinars, videos and blogs. It\u2019s becoming a WordPress world.<\/p>\n

I love being part of the WordPress community even though I sometimes feel a little late to the party. I\u2019m embarrassed to say I didn\u2019t start on working on Blogspot until 2007 and didn\u2019t switch to WordPress until 2010. I don\u2019t know, it just didn\u2019t feel accessible until then. After reading the 2010 infographic to the left, I wonder if I may have been put off by version 2.9.<\/p>\n

Two years later, I\u2019m helping other bloggers get their WordPress on by tutoring them or hosting WordPress Workshops.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, after a really good session, I feel like I\u2019ve given a user the very keys to their survival and in an increasingly Internetted society, that\u2019s not far from reality. There is no bigger sense of power as when you make technology work for you.<\/p>\n

The next big milestone in WordPress history is version 3.4. The release candidate came out in May, so when the final bug fixes are made, the update will drop sometime this month.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the WordPress Codex page http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Version_3.4<\/a> says are the highlights of 3.4:<\/p>\n
