Today is the 19th anniversary since WordPress’ first release, which is especially exciting for a number of reasons:
- The community put together an awesome site celebrating the occasion at wp19.day.
- We just had an awesome 6.0 “Arturo” release.
- Next week June 2-4 WordCamp Europe returns in-person in Porto, Portugal, and I’ll be there and so excited to connect with the community! Tickets are still available.
- Nineteen seems like an in-between number, but actually it’s very salient for me because now WordPress is the same age I was when the first release came out.
- Which means I’ve now been working on WordPress half my life!
Cheers and here’s to many more years together. 🥂

Congratulations! I’m curious as to why you haven’t yet converted ma.tt over to the new Twenty Twenty Two FSE theme? I’ve converted one of my sites, and I have to say, FSE is still quite rough around the edges. However, it’s exciting to see it progress. It definitely has a learning curve, but it’s all so worth it! I’ve spent a couple of days trying to pin down a workflow while learning the new site editor, templates; global styles; etc. I can say this, once you learn FSE, you won’t want to develop sites any other way. It’s going to be a huge game changer…
It’s on my todo! Just haven’t gotten to it yet.
