WordPress Origin Story

I needed a theme that was fit for a particular purpose and could not find it in the theme directory so I set out to learn how to build my own. Typically I always use HTML[5] static Website (PHP parsed) construction methods but when a customer needs to add content I had the option to use my own CMS or to load a WP build. I have found the WP themes/admin are more secure than what I have written so I am now a WP junkie and only use my CMSes for private projects. Note that I alternatively only use ‘my’ CMSes and not Django or Joomla or the “other” CMSes, since they have a poor interface to build on.
