A thank-you note to WordPress

    A feedback from me to WordPress:

    In 2009 I started ambitiously writing 60 posts each month, but a year or two later I cut it down to 30 and that is what I have kept up with ever since. All the posts in a given month were placed in one file.

    Some time around 2011 I discovered to my chagrin that you had put a maximum of 50 posts in each file, which means that my 60-post months had been divided over two separate files. You provided a somewhat complicated bridge between the two involved files for the reader to use. It was not easy for the reader, in particular to scroll backwards over that bridge – and it was even more difficult for me to explain how to do that in my instructions. Life ain’t always simple.

    And now, suddenly, I have discovered that WordPress has rescinded the 50-post maximum, and not only that. You have restored my old 60-post months to their original single file, making life much easier for my readers and allowing me to work on yet another task – to weed out my convoluted instructions about how to do all this to my readers.

    This note has no questions. It is simply a written note of gratitude to WordPress for this enormous simplification that you have made for me, maybe recently, maybe a year or two ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I love WordPress. You are giving an 82 year old man the most rewarding hobby of old age – to write his memoirs for the world and thereby reliving the best parts of his life in minute detail and in doing so discover more about the past events than were not obvious to him back then when they happened.

    Sincerely, Clas Ekwall

    Hello Clas,

    Thanks for letting us know. It’s always good to hear when we do something that makes it easier and better for people to get their words out there on the web.

    And 30 posts a month is quite impressive. Not many bloggers can maintain that so consistently. Thanks for sticking with us for so long :)
