Some Corvette enthusiasts just can’t seem to get enough. For instance, the owner of this beautiful white C6 Corvette likely felt a need to impress his crowd of roaring fans.

I was very excited last week to learn that WordPress has been awarded the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards. This is a landmark for us, as it is the first time we’ve won this award, and it marks a shift in the public perception of WordPress, from blog software to full-featured CMS.
