WordPress has won the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards.
“From Blog Software to Full-Featured CMS”
Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of Wordpress, was very excited to learn about the good news because it is the first time that Wordpress have won this award. This is no small feat because Wordpress was designed to be a “blog” software and not a CMS ( Content Management System).
Tied for runners up are MODx and SilverStripe.
Wordpress receives US$ 4,000 in prize money, while MODx and SilverStripe each receive US$ 2,500.
Aside from winning the top spot in the Overall Award, WordPress also made its way into the top five for the first time in Best Open Source PHP CMS Category.
According to the award site, WordPress outranked Drupal (Winner) by a very slight margin. I guess Wordpress has the best chance to win this category by next year.
Matt , in his blog, wrote “ Every member of the WordPress community, from core developer to beginning user, should be proud to be part of this momentum: congratulations to us all!”

I’m glad Wordpress won! I use the software myself. But really, is there any viable competition?
I’m using wordpress now, so Bravo! But I still have 9 of my blogs at blogger. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Hi there! I am having a holiday contest for December and I am looking for sponsors. You can sponsor anything you want. Cash, EC credits, ad spots, gifts; its up to you. Will you be a sponsor? Thank you for your time.
Thank you for the sponsor pledges!! How many ec credits would you like to sponsor? Also, what are the links to your 5 blogs?
Congratulations to WordPress… and to the users too..

In connection to this, I am requesting you to send your spon$ored amount to liezl_7m5@yahoo.com on or before December 1 so that I can finalize the prizes.
If in case you’ve missed it, here are your benefits as a cash sponsor:
- 1 Blog Review with Backlinks (@ BH:Overcashed)
- Be Listed in my Blog Roll (Permalink)
- 125X125 AD Space on SPONSORS widget during the contest period
- Additional Entries if you will join the contest
- More reviews coming from contest participants
As of now, your 125X125 AD is already up on my SPONSOR widget on the left side bar. It’s either I’ve grabbed it from your blog or through entrecard. I have also added your LINK (permanently) on my “Linking You” widget in the right side bar.
As for blog/site review, it could be anytime within December and I will let you know once it is up! Hurray, I will be promoting your site on my blog! ^_^
Thank you so much!
Best Regards,

I can’t say that I’m suprised. WordPress gives something magical and it’s popularity is still rising as more and more people are using this handful device of controlling web resources and providing easy way of publishing articles. I think it will be used for many years.
