WordPress

Ten years ago, May 14 2005 specifically, I started this blog on the WordPress platform. I chose WordPress for a number of reasons, but the primary reasons were that it was simple - really simple - for me to get up an going and that the hosting providers I was considering supported it. I wanted to use the web, but not actually develop for the web. WordPress seemed like the right choice. I did consider other options, and every few years, I would look around at what else was available. I have played with Drupal, Joomla, DasBlog, and others I can’t remember. In the end, I always ended up back on WordPress. Why - simplicity. It did what I wanted.
