Bio

I’m a retired transport manager working for a large dry lining firm in Essex. I was bored to tears with having nothing to do so I bought a computer and began constructing websites.

WordPress Origin Story

Had been using a WYSIWYG program to build my websites, but they weren’t coming out to well. Then I saw many people were using WordPress so I watched a load of “How to build your wordpress site” video’s and it took off from there.
