    WordPress Origin Story

    I wanted a site without “.tumblr.com” on the end of it, and happened upon WordPress. At the time I knew about 4 things in html, and nothing about php.

    That was 2007. These days, I’ve developed plugins with hundreds of thousands of downloads, and provide WordPress support and services for a living!
