January 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment

WordPress lovers, rejoice! oDesk is reporting that WordPress is the fastest growing skill that was in demand for 2008.

Skill/Experience	Openings Last 60 Days 2007	Openings Last 60 Days 2008	Change
WordPress	37	195	427.0%
Writing*	32	138	331.3%
Excel*	30	118	293.3%
SEO	73	250	242.5%
XHTML	24	61	154.2%
Linux	23	58	152.2%
Drupal	70	169	141.4%
Joomla	157	352	124.2%
CSS	119	250	110.1%
Graphic Design*	20	42	110.0%

*Because writing, graphic design, and excel have small starting points, we believe their change reflects oDesk growth, not a general trend.
