Today is the day that WordPress is celebrating its 10th Anniversary. In honour of this occasion, I have prepared a celebratory birthday card.

The 10th Anniversary banner was found on the Manchester WordPress Users Group site, one of over six hundred organizations celebrating today with for-real, face-to-face, with-cake get-togethers.
The cake icon was animated from pieces of two separate icons from The Noun Project site:
 Birthday Cake designed by Ben Rex Furneaux from The Noun Project |
 Birthday Cake designed by Consuelo Elo Graziola from The Noun Project |
You can see that my cake is based on a slightly shorter version of the Ben Rex Ferneaux cake, with the Consuelo Elo Craziola flame flickering back and forth.
Given that I spend quite a bit of my time using the open-source, self-hosted WordPress.org WordPress to support a number of different sites, I think I’ll find myself a little bit of cake later today.
Thanks, WordPress — best wishes for the next ten !!!
Subsequent to posting, it became clear that the ds106 Digital Storytelling Assignment Bank did not have an Animated GIF Birthday Card assignment — well, it does now!! For your consideration, AnimatedGIF Assignment 1086: “It’s Your Birthday, Happy GIFfin’ To You!”
Right in line with the second half of design assignment week, fine work! And WP as been berry, berry good to me, too 🙂
