WordPress Origin Story

It’s not really something special… at the time I started writing my blog regularly, I used an old CMS from a company I worked with (its first version was free and open source; the current, updated versions are all closed source and require a license). However, as the Web evolved, it became harder and harder to maintain the old code. Some fellow bloggers who wrote about Second Life already used WordPress a lot, and the hosting company I used (DreamHost — I still am their customer for some domain names, but not for the shared service) simplified the whole installation (and maintenance!), so I tried it out. I became immediately a fan and started to convert all my non-profit sites to WordPress 🙂 That was almost two decades ago; nowadays, you will really need to drag me by my feet and shackle me to the desk to force me to use any other CMS…

(Update: I _do_ like flat-file/database-less CMS, though. I’ve tested Grav and it’s _insanely fast_. And these days I’m having fun with Go and its out-of-the-box, super-powerful template engine. Still, WordPress is king. There is no denying that.)
