I remember hand coding my website in 1996 and then again in the early 2000s. I remember learning how to use whatever perl scripting or apache extension that enabled the .shtml extension to be rendered into a single page. I remember a friend introducing me to Frontier! and trying to figure that out. Honestly, it was a lot more fun when it was my hobby and just me messing around in my spare time. I know WordPress is not particularly popular on HN, and I understand the reasons. That said, I use it for my personal blog because it reliably gets out of my way.
