Prompt 1/20
Blog: What is your WordPress origin story? Share what you’ve already got on your WordPress.org profile, go into more detail, or share a new story. And if you’ve never fully filled out your profile or setup your dot-org account, now’s the time! Post your response on a WordPress website and link to it in the comments.
I started using WordPress around 2013 while taking a Master’s Degree in Business and Institutional Communication at the University Autonomous of Barcelona. I found it a fantastic tool and since then I’ve been using it, recommending it, and contributing to the community. First I used WordPress.com and then I switched to WordPress.org. It took me a while to get my WordPress.org profile done. I am building it little by little with the help of the WordPress community, especially the community of Valencia, Spain, which is «a bunch of very cool people», as a radio announcer said when interviewing one of the organizers of the WordPress community in Valencia.
