WordPress Origin Story

It would originate from putting out fires caused by early installations of WordPress on my web hosting server. There were a lot of broken websites! Over the years things have improved a lot and I’ve found ways to keep WordPress secure and updated – even for websites that weren’t created by me.
Now I develop private and public plugins for WordPress and most of my new websites use it as a good starting point for their web presence.
