I thought I would take a look at how WordPress has changed over the years. For no reason, except because sometimes I can be an incredibly boring man. Over 5,500 files and 13 major releases of WordPress later, I’ve put together a video and some images of the changes to the WordPress login screen and initial page once logged in (now the Dashboard, but used to be the Write screen).
I was only unable to get version 1.2 working, though I didn’t try very hard to be honest.
A brief summary of the different versions of WordPress are listed below.
