Did you know that?
I’ve heard this rumor before among a number of different bloggers, but this interview is proof-positive that WordPress started because of a Ministry need:
You mentioned that part of WordPress began as a project you were involved in with a church. Could you explain that a bit?
Sure, the site is still up: http://www.unityhouston.org/
You can notice some WordPressy touches there, especially in the URLs. It used some code from what I was calling ContentPress at the time, but it became obvious that I was duplicating a lot of WP functionality and could implement it more elegantly within WP and it influenced Pages feature.
Isn’t that cool?
I’m telling you, WordPress is perfect for much of your ministry needs, not just blogging. Word up!
Do you know of several church sites using WordPress that I could use as an example to convince the "old dudes"?
