[...] When Holly and I formed Shiny New Toy earlier this year, we talked a lot about all the people we have learned from over the years. Included in that discussion was the community of people involved with WordPress. Holly and easily agree that our favorite online community are the developers, designers, hackers, and evangelists involved with the WordPress software. That community has shared so much knowledge and has never hesitated to share their knowledge with anyone interested.

For that matter, in any world they make a killer pair…like Sonny & Cher, Riggs & Murtaugh, or Bert & Ernie. Even like mac & cheese.
