    WordPress Origin Story

    I started with Blogger, realized that WordPress was better, and then moved my blogs to WordPress. I’ve since worked as a freelance WordPress theme developer (primarily using Thesis, then Genesis, then Astra) and have created a couple of plugins, including custom plugins for my needs.

    I still use WordPress sites as the backbone for much of my online life.
