It’s hard to imagine, but WordPress is now over 5 years old.
A French blogger, Ozh, posted images of WordPress’s admin interface on his blog in December. I just saw it now, but wanted to see the images in a single presentation deck so that you can flip through them and see the differences at a glance.
So I grabbed the images, combined them into one PDF, uploaded it to SlideShare, and voila:
5 years – hard to believe. I saw WordPress when it was at the very first version, in 2003, and first used it at the second version in, in 2004.

But I’m not really a developer, and WordPress has been the best tool for blogging.
Thanks, Matt!
