WordPress Origin Story

I started using WordPress in 2005 for my first blog.
Always look back an see how far we have come.

HeroPress has my Origin to WordPress Essay,
Titled: “W-W-Waiting For The Right Circumstances”
https://heropress.com/essays/w-w-waiting-for-the-right-circumstances/

I had a stutter, and my WordPress blog was the first place I could speak fluently.
And a decade in the WordPress world, I have never looked back.
