WordPress started out because the development of an existing blogging software b2/cafelog was discontinued by their main developers. In 2003, two users of b2/cafelog, Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, decided to build a new platform on top of b2/cafelog.

WordPress之所以开始，是因为现有的博客软件b2 / cafelog的开发已被其主要开发人员中止。 2003年，b2 / cafelog的两个用户Matt Mattlenweg和Mike Little决定在b2 / cafelog之上构建一个新平台。

They probably didn’t know that they are about to start a journey that would eventually benefit millions of users around the globe, create thousands of jobs, and a whole industry of developers, designers, writers, bloggers, and web publishers would make their living off it.

他们可能不知道自己是否将开始一段旅程，该旅程最终将使全球数百万用户受益，创造数千个工作机会，整个行业的开发人员，设计师，作家，博客作者和网络发布者都将以此为生离开它。

On May 27, 2003, Matt announced the availability of the first version of WordPress. It was well received by the community. It was based on b2 Cafelog with significant improvements.

In 1.5 we have created an incredibly flexible theme system that adapts to you rather than expecting you adapt to it. You can have your entire weblog run through a single file, just like before, or you can literally have a different template for every single different category. It’s as much or as little as you want. We’ve also broken common site elements like headers, footers, and sidebars into their own files so you can make a change in one place and see it everywhere immediately. “Matt Mullenweg – Announcing WordPress 1.5”

在1.5中，我们创建了一个非常灵活的主题系统，它可以适应您而不是期望您适应它。 您可以像以前一样将整个Weblog运行在一个文件中，也可以为每个不同的类别使用不同的模板。 随你想要多少。 我们还将常见的网站元素(如页眉，页脚和侧边栏)分解为自己的文件，因此您可以在一个位置进行更改并立即在任何地方看到它。 “ Matt Mullenweg – 宣布WordPress 1.5 ”
