Celebrating 10 Years of WordPress
The very first version of WordPress was released 10 years ago today, and there are meetups happening all over the world to celebrate, probably even one in your area! Here on Wptuts+, Iâd also like to take a look at how far WordPress has come since its initial release.
Celebrate With WordPress People in Your Area
WordPress meetups happen regularly all over the world, with interested users, developers, designers, and business owners getting together to share their knowledge. Today, May 27, there are over 4800 people in over 600 cities RSVPed to celebrate 10 years of WordPress with their local group. Itâs not too late for you to get on board and join them! Go to the WordPress 10th Anniversary Meetup Everywhere page for details of the meetup in your area.
History of WordPress Releases

Note: You can actually still download almost every single version of WordPress from the Release Archive. Pretty amazing! Though keep in mind, there have been various security fixes over the years, so itâs not recommended to actually use an old version in a production environment.
