How WordPress got its first users?

Wordpress MVP 2

WordPress started as a tool for creating blogs. It was built on the code of B2/cafelog, a popular, yet simple blogging tool. B2/cafelog went down without any explanation from its creator.

One of the B2/cafelog's users, Matt Mullenweg, decided to come up with something new and better. He was a programmer, so designing such a tool was a piece of cake for him. When Mike Little saw Mullenweg’s post about his plans, he joined him.

Matt and Mike have been working on WordPress and talked about it on cafelog.com while still working on it. They kept the community updated with their progress. Michel Valdrighi, b2/cafelog’s creator also wrote about the guys’ work before he decided to disappear.

WordPress 1.0 was just as simple as B2/cafelog, but had a few more cool features that made it stand out. For example, it had better UX, more attractive templates, and various style pages.
