I noticed some time ago that The Black Keys‘ site is also a very nice implementation of WordPress. Nice mix of static CMS and blog features, and a prevalence of various feeds.

Couldn’t figure out who built it though…

I guess I never mentioned that I converted all of Cory Doctorow’s blogs to WordPress (from MT) last year. He had five at the time, but we’ve added a sixth since.

I spend a **lot** of time browsing government sites, especially those of various members of Congress. If you look at many of them, they all seems to slowly be moving to WordPress, leaving Blogger.

In fact, just a couple weeks ago, after noticing that one politico was using WordPress (found out via the source code), but had **no** real mention of WP in the footer of the pages, in the header of the coding — I called and asked. The aide said yes, it was WordPress, and that the contractor should **not** have gone to extreme lengths to make it look like a private or non-blog site. I will be checking back on the site, just to see if there’s any WP coding to be found in a few days. Just to be nosy.

The Postal Service is using version 2.0.4 — I guess their announcement about 2.1 got… lost in the mail!

[wiping eyes] … oh I slay me.

‘Sprague’ - right you are: we were in the middle of development when the new version was announced - we decided it was more time effective to stick with 2.04 for the time being, especially since we got our hands a little dirty and modified a few core files and made some custom tweaks to existing plugins. Sometimes, bleeding edge isn’t the best option. Well spotted though.

All I remember offhand is that all the Seton Family of Hospital’s intranet blogs are powered by WordPress. Love, C

WP is getting extremely popular, especially since it is so easy to use to power an entire site even if they do not want to blog. Congrats to WP

Wordpress is also used bay the Parti Québécois for the actual Québec Provincial election : http://blogue.pq.org/

I think imjtk.com is using WordPress to design a new site for Al Gore. I don’t know if it’s out there yet, but you could ask.
