Bio

I am the author of several popular WordPress plugins including Top 10 and Contextual Related Posts which are used on 40k+ and 60k+ blogs.

I’ve been blogging using WordPress since 2003 when WordPress was in it’s infancy.

I also run WebberZone, Techtites and SirConanDoyle.com.

WordPress Origin Story

I started using WordPress in October 2003 to set up my personal blog. What started off as a test of a new and upcoming software turned out to be a relationship spanning nearly 15 years.

I’ve been developing WordPress plugins since 2005 and now author several popular plugins. WordPress still remains my hobby 🙂
