I could write these blogs using native html. It wouldn’t be hard, although it would take longer, particularly to add the links once I have finished. If I was keen enough, I could even link it to a table and use calls to the database to get the information back.

I don’t.

I don’t because I use WordPress, and WordPress does it all for me.

I often wonder whether Matt Mullenweg, the founder of WordPress, had any idea of how much impact Word Press would have on the blogging community, and had he known, whether that would have made him too nervous to start.

The UK Guardian on 4 November 2006, has an article on Web 2.0, and a bit about some of the major players in Web 2.0.  Matt Mullenweg is one of them.  Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia) is another, as are the founders of Blogger, Technorati, Feedburner and so on.

These people are changing the web as we know it, allowing ordinary users to do things—such as create blogs—that were previously the domain of a technically savvy few.
