Co-Founder Of WordPress To Receive Award

WordPress co-founder Mike Little will be given the outstanding contribution to digital media award at Sascon6. Sascon is a conference in the UK dedicated to a national audience of senior level digital and marketing professionals both agency and in-house working in the public and private sector. While Matt Mullenweg has been the high profile, public face of WordPress, Mike Little has for the most part, stayed behind the scenes.

If you would like to see the birth of WordPress, you can read the post as well as the comment that started it all.

It’s not like Mike has been silent over the years. In fact, he’s conducted a number of interviews. Here are a couple of the ones I found.
