    WordPress Origin Story

    I started working at a Web Hosting company in 2007 and discovered WordPress soon after. I was so struck by the ease of use that I started looking for an excuse to use WordPress. It wasn’t long before I started using WordPress for a blog. I was so impacted by the scope of what I could do with WordPress and that it was 100% free for me to use and manipulate. I’ve been a fan ever since.
