WordPress Origin Story
I started using WordPress in 2004, ran into a problem right away, asked on the forums, and starting answering whatever threads I could. In 2010, I took a job as a Happiness Engineer at Automattic, providing support for bloggers at WordPress.com (a bit different from WordPress.org). After a few years away from the WordPress.org Support Forums, I’m trying to make a comeback.
