WordPress Origin Story

One day, I visited the website of a non-tech student from my university. It was effortless for him to use and update, and I got mad; maybe I was just jealous because I built my blog using HTML tables manually and had to copy and paste each time I entered a new post.

I saw his site was powered by WordPress, and I understood there was a big opportunity to build and create awesome things together as a community.

From there, I started writing blog posts, and suddenly, this software could add pages, not just posts. With a partner, I started building websites, and then I became so addicted to WordPress that I decided to make a living from it.
