In just under a decade, WordPress has evolved from a fledgling content management system to the most-used such solution online. The software has accumulated more than 60 million users around the world, both on typical blogs at major news organizations like the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post. This notoriety, generally speaking, is good for the entire community. It has led to the largest group of developers for any content management system currently available; WordPress counts more than 15,000 independent developers among its ranks. The software changes, evolves, and becomes more advanced, largely due to its size, scope, and influence in online publishing.
