My journey with WordPress

It began as a tentative step of being an editor of Narisakti website. As an editor I used to think that my job is to take an idea and convert it into an article. Either I write or edit what someone else has penned down. Though the offer caught me by surprise because I felt like a total misfit. But the journey of Narisakti in the span of two years has been a journey of WordPress and Content Integrator. My earlier stint as an author with Align Thoughts was a bit underwhelming. So I began with my first article in Sept 2020 mostly unsure of what will happen next.

From a writer to integrator

We shall first understand the difference between an author, WordPress Admin and integrator. The admin is a tech person who mostly works in the background. You will never see the face or meet in person. WordPress admins are too busy and deranged.

An author on the other hand is the writer and the face of the website. It is the writer who does all the research and hardwork to bring an idea or event to life. The rise of internet and online publishing technology has help an average person to write and publish. But in order to work for the big brand and publications, you have to really be a good writer. Getting your work though is however a daunting task.

So then who is an integrator? The terminology came up after the proliferation of WordPress and bloggers. 2003 was an amazing year. Blogger platform was acquired by Google and WordPress was launched for the first time in 2003. As a side note in the same year, Google also launched Adsense. WordPress changed the face of publishing forever. Now it became possible that one person could convert an idea to article and then publish it too. Thus a blogger can be considered as a content integrator. WordPress is a powerful collaboration tool. Multiple people at different time zones can work on different role simultaneously. The power of WordPress also manifests in the ability to convert itself into any kind of website.

WordPress Content Integrator

All those who know me feel I am always hungry for more. So while working as editor of Narisakti and Sukaone website, I was offered the assignment of designing a single page WordPress website for brand The Glara. Successful completion of this assignment made me so confident that I took on the next assignment of re-designing another website, Business Mates Delhi. Later I got the position of editor of this website too.

When I decided to launch my own writers’ platform, I decided to make it a point to fully master WordPress. So after Enticing Tales was born, I was writing, posting and publishing articles on this website on my own. That completed my journey as a WordPress Content Integrator.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.
