WordPress, the popular open-source content management system, is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023. Since its launch in 2003, it has grown to become the most widely used website platform on the internet, powering over 60 million websites. Its user-friendly interface and vast array of customizable features have made it a popular choice for both individual bloggers and large corporations. 

Throughout the first half of 2023, leading up to the official anniversary date of May 27th, various events will be held to commemorate this milestone. Keep an eye on WordPress’s official social media accounts and the official anniversary website for updates on how you can contribute content, collect anniversary swag, and more.
