One million !

As of writing, the 26 WordPress plugins I have hosted on wordpress.org have been downloaded one million times. Of course this is mostly due to my most popular plugin, Admin Drop Down Menu, which has been downloaded more than 700,000 times over the last 6 years, but this is a cool mark anyway. Is there something like a millionaire club?…

In case you'd like to know more about me, there's a pretty good interview of me over at Single Function. I say "pretty good" because I like how interviews there are done, mixing up personal aspects with more focused and technical ones. Go read!

Matt Mullenweg is my Salesman

How are ads served on wordpress.com? To new visitors, depending on some factors and contexts… Photomatt gives details, and compares the features on wordpress.com with the one I coded for my plugin Who Sees Ads. How great is that ? :) (via)

My Blog Now Has a Voice !
