Getting some Press
February 28, 2008
I’ve gotten some press (pun embraced wholeheartedly) from my Automattic coworker Lloyd Budd regarding the fact that I’ve recently begun contributing to WordPress 2.5. It’s been fun; I’ve learned a lot in a very short period of time. And yes, while WordPress 2.5 finishes baking, I am working hurriedly on a new design for WordPress.org.

The new .org design is beautiful. Well done!
Congratulations for the redesign! Will the redesign affect areas like Codex or Forum as well?
@zeldman: Thank you for the kind words. Happy Cog’s work was a great point to start from!
@Hafiz: Most certainly. You should find a new design already in place for the Support Forums (one of my favorite areas of the new site), and new designs for the Codex, Plugin Directory, and other areas of the site will follow as soon as possible.
Matt, it looks great! Awesome job.
I reckon it looks great too! It ties in well with the Wordpress admin area.
Just been over at Zeldman where I found that you are the designer behind the wordpress.org update. Well done!
Matt, great to hear that you’re the designer who has done the spiffy new wordpress.org design.
I had assumed that Happy Cog was responsible for the new look at .org, but Matt M. graciously stopped by my blog to give credit where it was due. Very nice work!
Job well done! This is such a step above the last site, I don’t even know where to begin.
Indeed Matt. Good work.
Matt – can I second all the positive feedback on the new wordpress.org site design?
Great new look reflecting the WP 2.5 admin.
