WordPress

Matt Mullenweg recently posted the first blog entry at http://wordpressfoundation.org/ , which is the website of the newly created WordPress Foundation.

The WordPress Foundation is a legally-constituted 501(c)3 non-profit organization. This puts WordPress on a solid base as far as being available far into the future on a free and open-source basis.

I think this is just another very good reason to use WordPress as opposed to some of the other blogging platforms out there.

While it’s true that some of the WordPress developers pursue commercial goals at wordpress.com and Automattic, the WordPress Foundation gives assurance to ordinary users that WordPress will continue to be available freely to the Internet no matter what happens to the Automattic company.

    @battery,
    What’s funny is if you had simply contacted me with a e-mail or some such, I might have made your website the topic of a blog post.

    I think at least you should have taken the time to comment on a relevant article (such as one on laptops). Matt Mullenweg creating the WordPress Foundation has nothing to do with laptops or laptop batteries. It’s OK to have a link back to your site, but the comment itself has to be relevant to the article.

    As such, your comment can’t really be called anything other than spam, so I’m taking out the link to your batter website.
