The first time I published a WordPress blog was in 2011 (I was 13 years old) for a school project – it was my Natural Science professor that gave us some topics to talk about and made a presentation of it, so I thought of doing a blog.

I started looking around the internet and mailed some web hosting companies asking for a partnership – well… I remember that in the email I presented myself, explained the “plan” and after it asked directly for a free hosting and a free domain – and… the result was not what I was expecting (now I understand the companies, at that time I had no idea what I was doing) most of them were like:
– Do you have some type of online experience?
– We can’t support that request because there isn’t an existing online project
– We can’t totally offer the services that we sell
– We can make a student discount but we can’t offer the service
and so on.

Luckily there was a company that said directly – well, we can help you, we just need the note in attachment signed by your parents. It’s a note so we can know that they know about our partnership. That was super easy to me, I just printed the document, taken the ass of the chair and asked them to sign it and sent it to the company. They gave me the hosting and I just had to buy the domain from them – they also asked me to put their marketing material on my blog and to announce them the evolution of the project.

Hands at work and after two or three weeks my blog was full of posts, explaining this or that, talking about the environment, climate change and news.

The day arrived and I presented the blog in the class and my professor loved it, asked me things about the articles I had on it and yeah, max grade.

Since then I started looking around the WordPress environment – the plugins, the themes, the code – and trying to learn more about the whole world of WordPress – and now, some lessons, videos, readings and mistakes, I try to make cool online projects for others 🙂
