    How My WordPress Story Began:
    In 2003 I was on longer search for a “more dynamic system” to replace my static HTML sites. It was the time when blogging began, so I tried “Blogger” and lots of other simple CMS systems. I was unsatisfied with most of them. Then I remember coming to a blog about the big Tsunami Disaster in 2004/2005 in Asia. That blog from an Aussie and was running on WordPress. I took a look and the platform just clicked with me! I jumped in headfirst, but I failed to install WordPress successfully numerous times (today I guess it was the cheap hosting I had then…).

    In summer of 2006 I managed my first successful install of WordPress (I guess it was version 2.0.2) and I was really blown away of that system. The next weeks and months I abandoned everything else to play with WordPress, before building my first website completely with WordPress for a church youth group. That was really fun, and I learned so much about WordPress and how flexible it was (and is)! Then, at the end of 2006, I made a bold decision after this single WordPress website: To switch all my freelance work over to WordPress. With that, my search for good themes began…
