    WordPress Origin Story

    I first discovered WordPress in 2007, back when there was still a post2cat table. I started playing around with it, then finally brought it to work in 2008. I’ve been developing with it ever since, mostly on client sites, but also on plugins in the repo and countless personal projects.
