Wordpress is 19 years old this week!
I remember when I started blogging back in around 2003 it wasn't even around, or was nowhere near ready for prime time. Back then Movable Type was, in many respects, a much saner option if you wanted to self-host your own blog.
So when I started my first blog that's what I chose.
It wasn't for a year or two that I'd even consider switching to Wordpress
