History
On November 19, 2008, Kyle Eslick of WPhacks.com put up the domain names WordPressTavern.com and WPTavern.com for sale. In December of 2008, I contacted Kyle and acquired the domains from him.
On January 23rd, 2009, WP Tavern launched. On June 8th, 2011, I announced a new site owner although they wished to remain anonymous. One of the key stipulations from the new owner was that all advertising had to be removed from the site.
On May 20th, 2013, the new owner was revealed to be Matt Mullenweg. I was hired by Mullenweg’s company Audrey.co to manage WP Tavern’s content. Since then, WP Tavern has added a number of contributing writers to help expand the site’s coverage of the WordPress ecosystem.
