    WordPress Origin Story

    One evening as I was talking with my friend Fernanda, the topic of CMS came up. She was working with a big CMS called TypoLight back then. She advised me to start with a simple one, a small one, that she knew was used for simple blogs. That CMS was WordPress. Shortly after starting with it I discovered the great community I was now a part of. That felt and still feels amazing.
