Jason just wrote in that Ford Motor Company has launched a WordPress site, and it’s pretty kickass. How cool that the first Fortune 5 company to use WP goes beyond just a regular blog and really shows what can be done with a powerful framework. (21)
Dear Mark
You should write to them about using pretty permalinks
Cheers, Kishore.
All that time and money and they can’t even figure out how to enable permalinks. Geez.
Cool! But they need to update to 2.0.6 
Thats pretty sweet that they are using it … and not to mention they have made it look pretty nice too.
Hmmm… It’s a shame they don’t actually *credit* Wordpress 
(But I’ve had a poke around and it’s definately a WP install :D)
Hey guys there is nothing that says they need a visible credit, they left it in the headers and such.
The thing I’d like to know is how much the designer/team of designers were paid by Ford to prepare the site and how in the know the guys with the money were about the core of the design? Still, it’s a great work on their layout!
Not a bad looking theme that, but I don’t really like their multi-colored links. I like everyone else here, also noticed they don’t use pretty permalinks :p, that would have been nicer.
Nice site. I’m sure they will figure out the permalinks soon.
However, this may shed some light on why they may not be using them:
Tell ‘em who you are and maybe they’ll give you a deal on an Airstream http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/01/08/ford-airstream-concept-a-shiny-hydrogen-powered-phev-funmobile/
However, this may shed some light on why they may not be using them:
Except, you might want to try the one for the actual domain of the blog:
They removed the DOCTYPE. Strange.
Chris, jcwinnie: explain it.
That is cool that Jason found this, but how did he? Just by noticing the p=3 in the URL and checking the source?
Ford también lo usó para una feria de coches… http://photomatt.net/2007/01/08/ford-uses-wordpress/
