Just as our website was about to burst with content, I happened to be reading Matt Mullenweg’s blog last week (Matt is the the founding developer of WordPress) and to my surprise I discovered that using ‘WordPress’ in a top level domain is strictly not permitted (you can read the full rules here).
So, we’ve done the honourable (and legal) thing. We’ve moved across to a new domain – wpmadesimple.org. We hope the new website name is just as catchy. In many ways I think it’s more accurate to our purpose.
Moving WordPress from one domain to another is fun – quite an operation, but joyously satisfying once complete. It was almost fun at times but there were definitely a few moments of intense cursing.
I hope you like the name of our new home. The old one didn’t last long. And we haven’t even launched yet…
