Happy anniversary to my blog, started on this day 22 years ago, during SXSW. Actually a little tempted to get back to SXSW one of these years. Tech has changed so much, platforms come and go, but blogs remain.
@manton well congratulations 🎉. I like how it coincided with an event as well. I feel like mine didn’t at all but also I think I had other things start and stop so probably not really sure of the true start.
@manton 16 years so far on mine, started a couple of months after I started my first job :) Used to be at first on a platform named "Jogger" which allowed you to submit posts via Jabber, which is long gone now.
@manton Happy anniversary! Have you always been at manton.org? If you ever decide to write about the different platforms you used over the years, I would read that with interest.
@MitchW Thanks! Yes, always manton.org. Long story short on the platforms: Radio Userland, Movable Type, WordPress, Micro.blog.
@manton We started blogging about a year apart! Though it wasn't at kimberlyhirsh.com, I posted for the first time (in hand-rolled HTML) on March 15, 2001.
@manton I made the mistake of jumping domains a few times.
And I'm chuckling because I used the same platforms, in that order. With a brief side-quest to Tumblr. (As you may recall, I still use Tumblr but my primary blog is here.)
