Comment on 20 Years of Blogging on my own websiteparent

Comments

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.)
