WordPress Origin Story
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just sit real tight
I’ll tell you how I became a guru of WordPress Multisite
In WordPress bloggin’ born and raised
In support forums is where I spent most of my days.
Hanging, helping, debugging all cool
And all .htaccessing like a fool.
Till a couple Canadians, up to no good,
Starting pushin’ MU in my neighborhood.
I coded one little plugin, my wife got scared,
She said “You’re writing all this code on your Macbook air!
I spoke at a WordCamp and then it came clear,
The job offer was fresh, and it came with good beer!
If anything I could say that WordPress was fair,
And I thought, “Hey, just fork it! Yo, homes dye my hair!”
I logged in to Slack ’bout 7 or 8
And I said to the meetup “Here”, it was great
I looked at the make blogs
It was finally true!
I’m a guru of WordPress and Multisite too.
