Bio

Freelance WordPress developer, primarily writing mini plugins to solve niche issues for clients. I post some of my code on my blog.

WordPress Origin Story

I started using WordPress for a blog of spelling mistakes and grammar issues I saw on websites, signs and leaflets. The blog was called ‘Mispelt Ute’ (aka Mispent Youth), with the first post in August 2007.
My first post about WordPress development was in 2011 and I’ve written almost 250 posts about WordPress and WooCommerce development since then.
