I was in the back end of Dallas Sports Fans this morning and noticed this little nugget in the WordPress News Feed. Over at ma.tt, Matt Mullenweg’s Blog-Site there was a link to an article on Why WordPress? Naturally I decided to swim over and have a read of this article: Why WordPress? 21 of the WordPress Community Answer. The article is a collection of quotes from some of the WordPress Community developers on why the decided on WordPress. Here are a couple of my favorite answers, but for the rest read the article.

Back at the very start? The thing that probably made me choose WordPress over Joomla or anything else was how user-friendly WordPress was. It was so easy to get started with it, anyone can do it!
