A little #WordPress story today. I was 21, and working on my first big freelance project. Somehow I'd landed a young BIPOC media site looking to grow up. I worked hard, learned a lot, and launched this really amazing site. And the traffic to the site just took off.. It was so intense, that the small plan we were on, on a managed WordPress host, couldn't handle it and the site repeatedly went down. The host didn't have an emergency support line at the time and I could only email to get help on a weekend..
