Comment on 20 Years of Blogging on my own website

Comments

Getting a Perl website running has always been a challenge.

What am I missing? Getting Movable Type working was to FTP and dropping it in "cgi-bin" > making them executable > connecting to the DB you created. Every web host that runs Apache has that, doesn't it?

I've started and sold a few blogs - the Pagerank, Domain Authority, Domain Age, etc. I think I also sold an entire website with a pretty popular WordPress theme. The primary theme that started it all was acquired by Automattic, the WordPress company.

I have been blogging on my personal blog since 2001, so it's been about 24 years now. I think mine started as a Flash website, with a `/blog` serving up the first few articles from PHP (or was it ASP?). The host was in a suburb of Bombay, and I remember seeing my neighboring websites, which were pretty popular brands. Yes, I could see the files, but I could not edit them. Very secure stuff. ;-)

Here is a bit of the story I wrote on my website's 20th year https://brajeshwar.com/2021/brajeshwar.com-2021/
