WordPress Origin Story

The abbreviation ‘WP’ is not covered by the WordPress trademark, and you are free to use it as you see fit.

Started in 1991 with barebones HTML on Cal State University servers creating web pages for faculty. Went full-time web in 1996 and by 1998 was working more in classic ASP, then C#.Net (especially Telerik Sitefinity) for client sites and projects (even DotNetNuke). In the mid 2000’s a client asked for help with his WordPress blog and I discovered the world’s BEST CMS and moved all my clients off Sitefinity and on to WordPress.
