WordPress Origin Story

I was working with my own custom CMS when I got a job at an SEO place doing development and their CMS of choice was WordPress. The plugin and action/filter system was great and I was hooked! That was 2007, and it wasn’t long before I was releasing plugins and collaborating on open projects with people.
