WordPress Origin Story

I discovered WP in its’ “blue admin period” around version 2.1. I saw the potential immediately and by WP 3.0 I knew there was no going back. There’s more to this origin story which I look forward to sharing, but will wait to tell the tale either in person, over a beer or on a podcast or when someone asks directly about it.
