Happy 26th Birthday, Matt!

Every WordPress superfan out there knows the story of a kid from Texas who decided to make blogging a bit easier. Now, just about seven years later, WordPress has grown to become the top blogging and content management platform on the internet, powering millions of websites around the world, including many for some big names.
Today, however, is more of a special day for that kid than that platform. Matt Mullenweg turns twenty-six today! (For all of the ladies wondering, this means that the young man is a Capricorn. Check your romantic compatibilities elsewhere on the net accordingly.)
I hope that you all can take a bit of time out of your day to wish Matt a happy birthday and thank him for his efforts on Twitter (@photomatt) or through any of the other options on his website. His hard work and passion are two of the most important reasons that WordPress, and, arguably, blogging itself, have come as far as they have.
From all of us here at WordCast, we want to wish you a very happy birthday, Matt, and here’s to many more prosperous years (online and in real life).
Is there a certain feature or quality of WordPress that really stands out to you? How have Matt and the rest of the team changed your life? Post a comment below.
Happy Birthday Matt! We love WP and we love you. On many more years of happy blogging. Cheers!
