    WordPress Origin Story

    I was selling real estate at the time and had a site I’d build from scratch in PHP. Needed to make some improvements and stumbled on WordPress, converted to build on WP, wrote and published a plugin for listing agents, which led to an introduction to someone and I went on to build True/Slant on WPMU, which was acquired by Forbes.
