Mike Little: the British co-founder of WordPress you’ve probably never heard of (but should)…
In the story of WordPress –the tool that powers 45% of the web, including 10s of 1000s of film sites– Mike Little is Steve Wozniak to Matt Mullenweg's Steve Jobs. Matt polished the interface, the marketing and curly quotes – while Mike added the blogroll, rebuilt the code, and added the one-click easy-upgrade that's been central to its success. But unlike Woz, Mike never had shares in Matt's $7bn business – or even a job there. He didn't know you could make a living from WordPress until he turned up at the first UK WordCamp. He hasn’t been knighted or hall-of-famed, and isn’t known outside of old WordPress developer circles. Is this because he’s a cheerful and easy-going northerner from Stockport? Because he didn’t have a degree? Because he’s black? I don’t know. All I know for sure, is this is someone who anyone in tech, or who uses WordPress, should know about.

Get 15% off all my kits listed on my personal store.
I am off for a short holiday this week, so my store will be closed from Friday 6th until the following Monday the 9th.
In celebration of this - I added the discount coupon, HOLIDAY, to get 15% off store wide.
Last orders accepted up to midday Thursday (Australian Time). So if you interested in getting some of my new Stegosaur kits - now's a good time.
Happy #RETROCOMPUTING
