Przez ostatnie półtora roku, jeśli wpisałeś domenę wp.org, to zostałeś przekierowany do WPBeginner. Dla wielu była to nieoczekiwana i niemiła niespodzianka, ponieważ naprawdę chcieliście przejść na stronę WordPress.org, będącą domem popularnego systemu zarządzania treścią. Dziś mam przyjemność ogłosić, że przekazaliśmy domenę Fundacji WordPress.
Dla większości z was to nic nie znaczy i życie toczy się dalej jak zwykle. Dla tych, którzy są bardziej biorący udział w społeczności WordPressa, jest to ogromna sprawa, ponieważ teraz możesz wpisać wp.org w twoich tweetach, wiadomościach na Slacku, statusach na Facebooku itp. bez przeklinania mnie lub WPBeginnera.
Wiem, że to przekierowanie było frustrujące, ponieważ wielu z was pisało do mnie na Twitterze lub wysyłało nam gniewne e-maile. Wszystkich, a nawet tych, którzy wybrali dobrą drogę, chciałbym przeprosić za moje działania.
Teraz pewnie zastanawiacie się, co się zmieniło?
Krótka odpowiedź brzmi: DUŻO.
Moja żona i ja jesteśmy w ciąży z naszym pierwszym dzieckiem. To dało mi nowe spojrzenie na życie jako całość.
Od sporządzenia nowego testamentu po pracę nad rozszerzeniem mojego ubezpieczenia na życie, wiele się dzieje. Po raz pierwszy w życiu myślę o nieprzewidzianych okolicznościach. Niektórzy z was, którzy są starsi i znacznie mądrzejsi, nazwą to „dorastaniem”.
Wypisałem wszystkie rzeczy, które są dla mnie bardzo ważne, a na pierwszym miejscu po mojej rodzinie jest WordPress. Jest to moja rozszerzona rodzina i możesz się o tym przekonać, jeśli spotkasz mnie na którymkolwiek z WordCampów. Używam WordPressa od 10 lat, a WPBeginner istnieje od prawie 7 lat.
Innymi słowy, WordPress jest częścią mnie przez 40% mojego życia.
Kiedy myślę o tym wszystkim, co WordPress zrobił dla mnie, przekazanie wp.org na rzecz Fundacji WordPress jest najmniejszym, co mógłbym zrobić.
WordPress jest znacznie większy niż jedna osoba lub jedna organizacja. To jest powód, dla którego Fundacja WordPress istnieje. Teraz, jeśli coś mi się stanie, przynajmniej wiem, że ta domena nie zostanie sprzedana na aukcji temu, kto zaoferuje najwyższą cenę (raczej będzie bezpieczna w domu) z Fundacją.
Żałuję tylko, że nie zrobiłem tego wcześniej. Ale cieszę się, że zrobiłem to teraz.
Życie uczy nas nowych lekcji każdego dnia i jestem pewien, że wiele się nauczę z nowym dzieckiem.
Chcę podziękować wszystkim, którzy mi pomagali, i nie mogę się doczekać dalszej obsługi społeczności WordPress.
Z poważaniem,
Syed Balkhi

Congratulations!!
Congratulations on your baby, as well as the generous gift. I can’t imagine what a domain name like that would be worth~ so the thought of „donating it” in todays corporate world of greed is quite humbling.
I do know too that regardless of donating the name or not~ your WP Beginner site has helped me on a weekly basis for the past two years as I stumble my way around building my brand.
With your generous attitude to help and serve others, along with a keen eye for business, your little one could not have chosen herself greater parents.
Wishing you all the best for you and your wife~ and God Bless the beautiful #balkhibaby

Hi Syed !
I’m a avid reader of WPBeginner, After reading this post, I must tell you one thing, your involvement with the baby will be more than the involvement you’ll have with the blog. Trust me, it was the same in my case, although, my daughter is 1 year and 2 months, I find time to blog only when she sleeps. But still, its worth it.
Blog like a Baby !

Just another reason why we count on WPBeginner, WPForms and Syed Balkhi –
You are Real
You are Dedicated
You are an Asset
to the WordPress Community, WordPress Developers and WordPress Site Development Businesses.
Congratulations on the baby, we have 5 children 3 – 17 and they are all the blessings I need but having You and Your staff to help building our WordPress business has also been a blessing.
Thank you.
Adrienne
Well done on the WP.org.
Congrats on the new additional. Ahhh, get ready, you will not be sleeping for about a year! it’s called adulthood, they tell me.

This is such an awesome (and rare for these times!) gesture! The whole WP community, am sure, salutes you on this one.
As for the good news on the domestic front…good things happen to good folks! Hope this good karma rubs off on the exciting future that is in store for you and your wife. Wish you both and the baby all the very best!
Derek
Congrats on the new addition and you my friend did the right thing and will always be remembered in the community by your action.
My family always comes first before the job and before I even turn on the laptop. As long as you pay your web hosting bill, you can login to your websites to do work on them in your spare time.

Congratulations and thanks for your contribution and ALL of your great work here!

Wow, congrats and nice move!
Stephanie
Congratulations on the baby news! It’s very exciting to have your first baby on its way. Second, thank you for donating the domain. I think it was a nice gesture and I am sorry for the angry emails you received from people (not us). The mob mentality on the web is unpleasant and, at times, excessive.
Gnanes
Congrats and it was nice of you to donate the domain. Lets see if Wordpress will do you a favor and reserve a .blog domain for you since they own it now.
Jermaine Valentine
That’s a great gesture, one that the entire WordPress community will appreciate. Congrats on your new baby! If your ever in Jamaica let me know, the first round will be on me…cheers!
Editorial Staff
Thanks Jermaine. Will definitely let you know when I visit Jamaica.

Many congratulations! Your first…how sweet. Yes, your brain gets re-wired in a very good way

Syed, nothing happens before irs time my friend.
Atta
It is an amazing gesture. I appreciate it. WP.ORG is a high value domain and it can easily sell in 6 figures.
Bimakuru
Congratulations, May the force be with you…
Charlie Patel
Kudos and Congrats on the new addition to your family. Truly an inspiration!! All the best.
Jason
Kudos on the donation, Nothing wrong to me with a redirect on a domain you owned for a similar relevant site but I can see where some might view it as not wordpress and get angry. I was wondering why WP.org had Red in WebOfTrust browser tool with no reviews stating why it had a bad rating but this explains things. I followed you on fb and bookmarked your site so your donation gained me whatever that is worth. Regarding WebOfTrust, Any users that use it and read this should go rate the wp.org domain accurately so that visitors with the browser extension are not fooled into thinking wp.org is not trustworthy… I will! P.S. Also going to rate this domain and it already has a good score!

Thanks Jason

This is really a great step. But somehow I am not redirected to wordpress.org – has someone hijacked the domain?
Editorial Staff
No they’re probably switching the DNS.

Vinodh David
Congrats Syed on the new family member. Becoming a parent changes a lot of perspective for sure. And a great selfless move towards the donation. You will be a great dad I am sure
Gaurav Tiwari
That’s great work. But to be honest wp.org should go to wikipedia.org instead of wordpress.org. The later needs less of it.
Bradley Will
Much love, admiration and respect.
Husain
Respect. You are awesome
Japh
Fantastic news on your growing family, Syed! Super happy for you, there sure is a lot to learn, but it’s all very worthwhile too, eh.
Also, kudos on donating the domain name. I really appreciate this
Pad
Very nice of you. Maybe WordPress should donate thesis.com to the people at Thesis…
Fernando Morais
Congratulations for the new baby.
We’re also expecting to be parents (again) in November 2016 so maybe yours will meet mine in a few years in some WordCamp around the World.
Vitor Madeira
Those are the kind of stories that will be turned into history.
I use to say that, to accept some people on some specific jobs in society, one should not be required to have superior education, rather it should be required to be a father / mother in the first place.
We would definetly have a better world.
Congratulations.
George Bikas
Kudos for the domain !!
I Wish you the best for your growing family!!!
Regards from Greece.
