UK regional newspaper picks up US acclaim

November 5th, 2007 Posted by Laura Oliver in Online Journalism

The online offering from Wolverhampton’s Express & Star has caught the eye of Matt Mullenweg - founding developer of blogging software WordPress.

On his blog Mullenweg has pointed out that every article and feature of the Express & Star’s site is powered by WordPress.

“They now take the crown from NY Times for having the best URLs of a news site,” writes Mullenweg.

Such favourable comparisons don’t come along every day. Thanks to Chris Leggett, electronic editor for MNA digital, the digital arm of the Midlands News Association behind the Express & Star website, for passing this on.
