Back in the late 1980's I started my first very first website, teaching myself the html necessary to do what it was I wanted to do. It was very much a trial and error thing with me getting a cheap thrill when things works the way they should. Granted my coding likely wasn't as clean as what it could have been but given I was teaching myself, learning as I went I thought I did a pretty good job. Looking back on that experience it is uncanny to see that website was very much blog-like with very regular updates all painfully done in HTML. I still have the entire website design and elements safely tucked away as a memento. Fast forward to four years ago.
I was bored with usenet so looked to various forums to engage with others online. At the same time I was interested in creating another website. What's rather funny about this is I seriously stumbled upon Yahoo looking for a disposable email for online use so if it became spam laden I could simply shut it down. At that time Yahoo 360 was being offered so I thought what the heck. I met a few online friends through Yahoo 360, still have my original Yahoo email address and the rest is history. Yahoo 360 got me interested in blogging but I wanted to do more since I knew the HTML to do so. A couple of weeks later my first blog (gardening) went live on Blogger. From that one blog I've grown to authoring 6 blogs all hosted on Blogger. Yes I know your own domain is better and I do own 2 domains but have never worked up the nerve to move my two most popular blogs to them.
As the fourth anniversary of my first and second blog approaches I can't believe how much they have evolved and how they have provided the incentive for more blogs. What is still amazing to me is blogging continues to be interesting and it continues to change as I learn more. The whole blogosphere continues to evolve itself, demanding more of bloggers. Readers demand more of bloggers so it means bloggers have to constantly be one step ahead in blogging. At any rate my first four years of blogging have been wonderful!
