WordPress Origin Story

Started building websites as a 10-year-old kid back in the 90s. After getting to know how static sites and blogs work, moved on to Cutenews which was created in 2002. I have always been a blogger-writer guy, so it was all about creating better and better blog.

When WordPress released 1.5, migrated to it and never looked back. Been a WordPress user since 2005. Nowadays it’s of course almost anything but blogging but it’s awesome to see how much has changed (for the better).

Hoping to be more and more involved with WordPress now and in the future. Started organizing the official WordPress meetups in Jyväskylä in 2015.
