WordPress Origin Story
My Twitter friend Pam from Pam Ann Marketing said she wanted to meet us at WordCamp Orange County in 2013. My BFF/Blogging Buddy Carol Stephen and I went and Pam couldn’t attend. We’ve been going to WordCamps ever since. I built bridgetwillard.com in April 2015 — my first self-hosted WordPress site. I joined the Marketing Team at the Contributor Day for WCUS in 2015 and became Team Rep shortly after. The rest is history.
