WordPress Origin Story

It was 2004, I had my blog on Movable Type and they announced changes to their licensing. I decided to look for an alternative.

At that time a lot of folks were moving from Movable Type to WordPress and they were writing about how easy it was. I moved my blog to WordPress and never looked back again. At that time I never thought WordPress would eventually become my main source of income.

For next few years, I used WordPress to run my own blogs. This gave me expertise, I learned PHP and became able to modify themes and write plugins for my own needs.

People started asking me how to do things on WordPress and this is when I realized that I have the potential to help people build their websites. I started writing for some WordPress specific sites. This led to my current full time job where I spend all my time writing about WordPress, themes, plugins, and how-to articles.
