Arno Welzel (@awelzel) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I have been working as a software developer since the early 1990ies and since 1997 I run my personal web site.

In addition to working with computers and electronics I am an passionate cyclist and do most of the repairs and rebuildings on my own.

WordPress Origin Story

Originally I used DokuWiki for my personal web site (which I still use for other “real” Wikis). But after eight years and so many customizations to get a “blog style” web site I decided to use WordPress by the end of 2013.
