I was looking at Obama’s website code after someone mentioned the site was built using ExpressionEngine (EE), and I’ve been wondering about the differences between EE and WordPress (the latter powers this site).

Update:
Tumblr’s source code does the same. Via @DNAtkinson.
Strange attention to detail.

coda,
Everytime ASCII art is added to the head of an HTML document, a developer dies.
Dave,
So Obama’s site is powered by WordPress?
Gudrun Strønnegüt,
Funny, the guys at the White House and the torrents uploaders on Pirate Bay have the same tastes…
Andrew Kelsall,
Ha ha, I thought the Obama one was the Internet Explorer logo at first.
Brian Kikendall,
The Foo Fighters do this also. http://www.foofighters.com
Gilbert,
Hehe, a friend of mine has been doing this for years! Check out the source for psmania.net (might need to zoom out the text a little bit).
Alex Paris,
@coda… thats why its so impossible to get a development job? what about in the foot?
@dave Obama’s site is on EE. LDL (and david’s other sites) are on wp.
Alan Leenhouts,
Its pretty neat but who the hell else reads the source code cept us? Of course that doesn’t mean next time I’m bored you won’t find one on my site as well.
