  1. It is always good to know that WordPress has not stopped improving its platform. The millions of users is because of their dedication to improve the platform. I can only see the community getting stronger.

  2. WordPress started as an open source software and continued to be like that. This helped form an amazing community behind it.

  3. Does this mean that it will change its format again? It gets more and more confusing and it takes some time to learn for people who are new to it.
