WordPress Origin Story

I worked a lot on documentation and support for PostNuke, later Zikula – literally 10.000 post on the forum! And I am always in for the niche: Atari, Linux, Identica and so on. But I wanted to use at least one piece of software that everybody used. Thus I switched to WordPress. Everything was new. The layout possibilities were so much more limited that in Postnuke, where we implemented templating years ago. But it simply worked. I was able to blog and it was simple. Today and with full-site-editing I can do whatever I like with WordPress and I love it!
