WordPress Origin Story

I started using WordPress back in 2012 when I was in my first year at the university.

I loved to write and when I realized I could easily write and share my stories with the world using WordPress, I decided to give it a go. I had no idea about what I was doing at the time. I remember purchasing a domain name and a hosting package and creating my blog with the help of tutorials I found on the internet.

Since then, I have built dozens of WordPress websites for myself and other people. I’m happy to say that I’m making a living off WordPress.

What I love most about WordPress is that you can never get stuck. There are tons of materials online and a larger community that is always around to help you with anything.

It doesn’t matter whether you are just starting or have been using WordPress for long. Help is always a “search” away.
