    Bio

    A mixed bag of interests, including writing, designing user-friendly websites, and enthusiastically participating in the WordPress ecosystem, is just a small part of who I am. Having been a WordPress enthusiast since it was just a babe in the CMS world, I’m still loving working with it.

    WordPress Origin Story

    In 2005 or so (perhaps 2004, who remembers…), I decided to move from my self-built CMS to the new shiny thing that was getting so much attention…WordPress. I haven’t looked back since. You can read more about my WP origin story here. https://donnafontenot.com/one-womans-journey-towards-wordpress/
