    Congratulations! You guys are changing the world, making life easy for us. No doubt, without WordPress I wouldn’t be a blogger….”More grease to your elbow” and keep up the great work. We shall be looking forward to your 100th anniversary as well. Hopefully I would still be alive by then…

But may I Thank Word Press for giving me the chance of putting my thoughts on the World Wide Web. Though not many people have read my blog. It’s an amazing 580 more than ever would have done. Thank You. Good luck for the future. Malctg. The Foureyed Poet.
