WordPress Origin Story

I began playing around with WordPress back when it was b2. I waffled between MovableType and WordPress until finding MT hosts was too hard (perl cgi-bin). WordPress was my first foray into learning how to write and customize PHP. That eventually landed me a job at a Law School managing their website(s).
