    Atoning for a long career as a know it all… and now on Mastodon

    WordPress Origin Story

    Way back when, I built a small CMS for the magazine published by my employer. Just a lot of PHP and some CSS. About a year later, it was time for version 2 and, while looking up something about PHP, I stumbled on WordPress. And the rest is history.
