Unpopular opinion has it that the most popular cms is just an internet toy for websites. Well… it has managed to sustain 25% of the websites on the web, if the internst was a stock option by websites, wordpress has a sheer size plus a special place in my heart [insert_white_heart_emoji].
How did I do with that intro ?
Welcome to follow along on my wordpress journey. Let me be your captain. Lets go…
My early days in wordpress was influenced by a friend, Daniel, who at that time worked on few handful wordpress projects. We were both undergraduates so it was easy to see how quickly he would spin up a full website with little or no coding. At that time, I had my webdevelopment starter pack (HTML, CSS,Javascript) fitted in so the idea of building any type of website from scratch at any whim was almost like a default approach.
The rest they say its history:
Fast forward to some days later, someone contacted me for a journal libray with ecommerce feature etc. In the multiltude of consels by one person, who happens to be Daniel, I opted to build the project with wordpress and the rest they say its history….
Over the years since my 6 years of website development, I have dabbled with several php ecosystem tools fortunately, wordpress is one of them. From my first drag and drop experinment to building a wordpress theme or tinkering with wordpress plugin development.
Memorable Moments
My friend shared the light with me, I felt I would also share the same with people in my space. In 2022, during my service year for the mandatory national para-military service, I organized a 3 weeks programme where I demonstrated to my colleauges the possibilities with wordpress and the benefits that abounds for them.
Yeap! That’s me.
For 3 weeks strech, I had a wonderful audience. Curious. Rapt attention. Engaged and Interesting.
We started with an intro into websites and website development, went through the basics of wordpress
