Matt Mullenweg (@photomatt), co-founder of WordPress, reports that The New Yorker online is now running on WordPress.

WordPress provides The New Yorker a more robust and user-friendly CMS (content management system), per Nicholas Thompson (@nxthompson), the magazine’s online editor.

We’re looking at almost total upside there. Because the tools are no longer getting in the way of producers doing their job, NewYorker.com is now able to publish a greater volume of stories every day. The site used to top out at 10 or 12 stories each day: now, it publishes around 20 per day. “It’s a lot easier to be productive now, and we can now make the site fresh a lot more quickly than we used to.

Look at The New Yorker’s site. It’s eloquent and is at least the equal of the magazine in look, feel, and, of course, the copy. All on blog software.
