Always nice to hear of people who have been blogging for a long time. I myself have been blogging (not always very seriously) for more than 29 years. First from a '~/home' directory of the University I was working at, later I moved to my own domain [1]. The first entry is from February 1995, but it also has contents from before that date.
I am still writing HTML (with some JavaScript) using a modified version of Crystal Edit, which has the ability open local files by following HTML links [2]. (So, it act like a kind of HTML source browser.) I am using a C program to check HTML and links [3], which also places all updated files in an upload directory.
Yeah, long time blogging is always impressive. I've got archive remnants going back to 1999-ish [1] and I know I had websites prior to that, too. My start was in the personal web space of AOL back when a MB seemed like a lot. My personal domain itself goes back to 2002. For worse and sometimes for far better, I've got a bunch of archive holes from lost backups in the middle, too. It's still wild how much continuity I have managed to maintain across the decades, though, even with those bumps.
(Over the years for blogging, I've bounced from handwritten HTML to custom PHP to Drupal to custom Python/Django to Jekyll.)
The editor is not a fork of this Emerald Editor [1] on SourceForce but based on Crystal Edit [2] from Code Project. It could be the Emerald Editor is based on Crystal Edit. I have not been able to work on it for many years because it is based on MFC and I have no access to Visual Studio. It does work under Wine on Linux (although some versions have problems with the mono-spaced fonts that it uses).

Is that a fork of Crimson/Emerald Editor?
