WordPress Origin Story

Back in 2007, a friend had dozens of html sites and wanted to migrate to this new system called WordPress. I was at that time doing my Computer science course in Alentejo, and we often spent all our free time creating new themes for the old static sites. It was a crash course in PHP and CSS, apache and WordPress. Learned many soft skills to master all the new technologies and still manage studying.

I still remember that in 2007, WordPress 2.1 was released. I spent many hours and hours talking in #wordpress in IRC. I remember this one time where we spent hours ( maybe days? ) trying to create a second tinymce textarea in the editor. It didn’t look pretty at all!
