    WordPress Origin Story

    Started using WordPress to record things that I found myself doing over and over again so that I would not forget how I did them. This has evolved into a nice catalog of How-To articles spread between https://www.jafdip.com, https://www.bsdnews.net, http://mikelking.com and http://bitrebels.com.
