    Seem like a nice endorsement that Jeffrey Zeldman is planning on taking A List Apart across to ExpressionEngine http://bigthink.com/ideas/jeff-zeldman-discusses-the-future-of-open-source - about three and a half minutes in… Sounds like he also put in a couple of references there to 960gs? Will be interesting to see if the look of the site gets an overhaul at the same time…

    Hmm…doesn’t surprise me.  Happy Cog have always been big supporters of EE.  And thank god for that - I use at least 2 Mark Huot add-ons per build - lol.

    Sweet! Although, JZ overstates the ongoing cost of EE: “you pay like $100 a year”...

    Also an awful lot of swearing in there, shame about that.

    Wonder if they’ll need to hire anyone to help out 😉 Wouldn’t mind that job!! 😊

    Jeffrey Zeldman endorsing a product like that is huge. I imagine hordes of people will start using EE just because he stated that it was his aim to move to EE. Good stuff!

    Definately - I wonder if EE Core downloads rise significantly as a result?

    All I can say “I went EE before Zeldman” hahaha :lol:
    Seriously, I was tired of their site not having forums but yet having links to discuss.
    Anyhow, sweet…I hope EE staff is ready to collect the stats.

    Funny.

    This is sure to be a hit on the pop charts: “I Knew EE Before EE Was Cool.”**

    Sung to the tune of this hit by Barbara Mandrell
