This week, we have the very distinct pleasure of talking to a gentleman who is not only a talented member of the WordPress community … but the one responsible for it.
Matt Mullenweg is the founding developer of WordPress, which currently powers over 26% of sites on the web. The WordPress website says it’s “a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.”
More importantly, WordPress is a part of who Matt is.
In this episode Matt Mullenweg, Lauren Mancke, and I discuss:
- Matt’s start with WordPress
- Founding Automattic in 2005
- The difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org
- Analysis of the premium theme market
- Generating revenue in the WordPress Ecosystem
- The spirit of GPL in Open Source
- Adding paid themes to WordPress.com
- Making a profit with premium plugins
- The future of WordPress
