Ten years ago today I started blogging. I started my blog on Blogger and under a different name. That blog lasted 7 years until I had to take it down because some asshole reported it to my work place. In 2010 I started blogging under this name and plan to keep it that way into the future. Over the years I’ve posted about 4000 entries and received about 1000 comments.
I checked out the internet archive to see if there were any screen captures of my original site but I could only find this one from 2004, about three months after I started the blog. I noticed on the screen capture that I started a website in 1997. I remember that one. It was on AOL. There is no evidence of that one anywhere.
Many of the bloggers I made friends with years ago are no longer blogging. Homer is still blogging. He’s one of the originals. There are a few others but I’ve lost touch with them.
My blog now is mostly for recording things that happen in my life and for posting pictures that I have taken. It’s become more of a record for me then anything else. I like to look back and see what a posted on certain dates in time. I started restoring the archive back to the beginning but I let that go a while ago. I hope to get back to it at some point. It would be good to have the complete 10 years in one place. Maybe sometime in the future.
