WordPress Origin Story

I am giving WordPress a try. I come from a Frontpage WYSIWYG background, so there has been a huge learning curve here. I was used to a single program that could do 99% of everything. WP reminds my of Microsoft Windows OS. It can’t do much on it’s own. You have to install dozens of third party programs to get any work done. The only difference is, in WP third part programs are called PLUGINS. I am still getting used to this new way of thinking not being able to work directly on a page. But with time I think I will be okay. I still miss the seed and ease of using Frontpage though.
