WordPress Origin Story

I used to write blogs using the WordPress platform. Back then I had known WordPress as a blogging platform/tool only. I knew the power of this CMS platform when I joined rtCamp as QA in 2015. And this is how WordPress happened to me. So yes, WP has been known to me for a long time but I had no idea how powerful it is!
