WordPress Origin Story

It just evolved naturally – I needed a content-management system, that is a standard in the world. I’ve been working with few PHP CMS’es and Frameworks since early 2004, and use WordPress for my first blog in 2008, but only since 2011 I’m fully switched to WordPress to develop hi-quality systems as a WordPress plugins, just because WordPress is so well-prepared to start.
