    WordPress Origin Story

    I had been involved with Toastmasters websites for some time, developing in both ASPX and Joomla. The organisation decided to go with WordPress as it appeared cheaper; unfortunately, successive webmasters decided they didn’t have time to maintain sites they weren’t making money from and “got busy”. I happened to start having a bit of time on my hands so got sucked into finding ways of getting a rather pedantic WordPress site to fly – or at least get off the ground. Still learning…..
