    WordPress Origin Story

    Hard to remember at this point. I think I got frustrated with Drupal probably version 4 something and jumped on the WP bandwagon when it was starting to get hot.

    From there I become a WYSIWYG ninja with the editor + my HTML skills. Man was it hard back then. WordPress was for “bloggers” not really for websites.

    I’ve probably self-published at least 200 WordPress websites since 2007 ish WordPress version 1.0 not including my agency.
