WPVote.com Re-launched!

WPVoteRemember the website Jean-Baptise Jung started called WPVote.com? During mid-2009, WPVote.com was the talk amongst WordPress bloggers. Why? Because it was a site built with the WordPress core as a digg-like site. This was a break through for those who were still doubtful of the power of WordPress as a CMS.

When Jean-Baptiste did not have time to keep up WPVote.com, he left it in the capable hands of Bill Gillbanks (@binarymoon on Twitter.) Bill is the guy behind Binary Moon and he has created several popular and sleek WordPress themes and plugins.

WPVote.com is a social bookmark site for WordPress related articles and has been open since August 2008. Surprisingly, for those who did not know, WPVote.com was not always run solely on WordPress. It was run on Pligg, which has known issues to be spammed. Anyone who runs large sites with members who have to sign up, this is a pain!

The site is very easy to use. Simply register, confirm your registration, fill out your profile, and then you can submit articles. All you have to include are the title, link to original article, short description, and a few tags.

WPAddict.net sends a big kudos to Bill for re-launching WPVote.com and a big good luck to the further success of the site!
