Stop the Presses! CNN Using Wordpress

CNN

If you’re keeping up with U.S. politics and the media coverage of the 2008 presidential election, CNN.com is an excellent place to read professional opinion and to be on the bleeding edge of what’s going on. On CNN.com, you can find the Political Ticker with 24/7 updates from CNN’s political team. Interestingly enough, the blog is using Wordpress, a great piece of blogging software (which My Own Skin proudly uses). Even more notable, however, is their great job at theming the blog to seamlessly fit into the overall look of CNN.com.

On his blog, Matthew Mullenweg (founding developer of Wordpress) acknowledges that CNN is, in fact, part of Wordpress’s VIP program which allows them to “serve millions of pageviews with no problems.” He also mentions that CNN has launched dozens of these blogs for divisions such as CNN Money and Fortune.com.
