WordPress.org

Jesus, comic books, homeschooling, painting miniatures, Minecraft, embroidered patches

I heard about WordPress shortly after it was forked from b2. (My background as a web designer had been mostly working with ASP, so I was learning about working with PHP and Linux servers when I heard about this PHP-based alternative to MovableType and Blogger that you could host and manage on your own site. Sounded like something I could really cut my teeth on!)

As time went on I began working on custom themes and plugins, and managed some small business sites as a freelancer. I eventually made my way to an agency that specialized in Drupal (but still had some clients who preferred working with WordPress), and grew tremendously as a developer during the several years I was there. At that point I joined Elegant Themes, and now I get to work with WordPress every day!
