Our History

Post Status launched on January 21st, 2013. Initially, it was a link-sharing blog where we selected the best articles being published in the WordPress and larger web tech communities. Eventually, Post Status became a more typical blog with original content. On January 21st, 2015 — our two-year milestone — we launched the membership component: the Post Status Club. Next, David Bisset and then Dan Knauss joined the team.

In January 2020, Cory Miller joined Post Status as an equal partner with its founder, Brian Krogsgard.

In early 2021 Cory and Lindsey Miller became the sole owner and publisher of Post Status. In august 2023, they were joined by Joost de Valk and Marieke van de Rakt. In early 2024, Michelle Frechette became the executive director of Post Status, which she is still today. In early 2025 Joost and Marieke bought Post Status became the sole owner, and immediately turned Post Status into a self-sustaining non-profit, which it is today, as a Netherlands-based foundation. The board of that foundation currently consists of Joost de Valk, Juliette Reinders-Folmer and Karim Marucchi.
