My First Blog Post (2009)

Write a great blog post

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

This was the first post ever published on any website I built.

It went live on 4th February 2009 and I didn’t actually write it. It was the default “Hello World” post generated by WordPress.

At the time, I had no idea I’d still be using WordPress all these years later, or that building and operating online businesses would become such a long-term part of my working life.

It wasn’t a meaningful post in itself, but it marked the start of everything that followed.
