    Bio

    I like trains, weather, classic rock music, comedy, and being WYSIWYG. I am the engineer of http://wpmainline.com where I write and talk about WordPress.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I got started with WordPress in 2007 when I was covering the Web 2.0 scene by reviewing all of the different tools and services that were sprouting up.

    At first, I wanted to utilize Joomla as I had a few years of experience with it, but the one feature WordPress had out of the box that Joomla didn’t was comments. I wanted people to comment and take part in the reviews. After my first foray with WordPress failed, my second look at it was a success and I’ve been hooked on it ever since.
