Blogging like it’s 1999

Just for kicks this morning I checked to see if my first web site is still up. It is.  Complete with cheesy graphics, music on many pages, egregious amounts of advertising, and <blink> tags, this testament to my history on the web still stands.  It’s where I first started learning to write <html> and how to post photos online.  But it’s also where I started blogging, before the word had been created.  I called my blog posts updates, and put together a few of them.  I posted on politics, spirituality, and what was going on in my life.  I also posted writings in stilted, overly descriptive language.  I thought I was such a good writer. :-)  I also posted some photos there.  They’re photos of a chunk of my life I haven’t thought about for a long time.  Most of the photos are poor quality, but now they’re meaningful because that was my life.  I guess the old site is like an old snapshot of me.  Out there for all to see.  I thought about logging in and editing it, but can’t bring myself to do that.  Sometimes it’s just best to leave history as it was.
