[Prompt 11/20](https://make.wordpress.org/marketing/2023/05/18/day-11-wp20-from-blogs-to-blocks/)

_WordPress was launched 20 years ago on May 27, 2003. Share a memory, a picture, or tell us a story about where were you in 2003. (If you weren’t born yet, tell us that too.) Post your response on a WordPress website and link it in the comments._

I was a ‘Web Development Executive’ at a London Publishing company in 2003, I maintained the corporate website at the time, mostly a mixture of ASP.net and HTML. Most likely using some gigantic CRT monitor and a Windows XP machine. I think I was using Dreamweaver maybe at this point, or maybe Frontpage 98?

I must have know a little about PHP as I apparently [bought this](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0201727870/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) in late 2001.
