It’s been 9 years of weblogging for the early “Edit This Page” group. As Garrett points out:
dangerousmeta!:What am I, nuts? I’m still doing this?! I neglected to notice that the 22nd was my ‘weblog anniversary.’ December 22, 1999 was when I began writing this weblog (called ‘array.editthispage.com’ back then) on the Edit This Page servers, via Userland Manila weblog software. Never saw any others in NM until 2000, and even then they were few and far between.
I remember that those early days were linked to the dawning of the 21st Century as we waited to see whether we would face complete technological failure due to the Y2K bug. We’ve survived and many of that group still have a strong online presence. The novelty has worn off and I’m mainly focused on posting images and writing about photography now. Some of the best writing I ever did was for the original On Deciding . . . Better. I have much of the text archived but never found an easy way to get it back on the web. On Deciding . . . Better 2.0 is still up and running on my home G4Cube, but I think it’s days are numbered as this site collects more current and useful information.
excellent photo on so many levels …
Congratulations on almost ten years!
Give me a call.
