I’m Not a Blogger, Really – The Secret About Blogs
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009I’m not a blogger really–if you didn’t already guess by my posting infrequency. But I do own and use a lot of what people call blogs. I just don’t like to see them that way.
You see, I’ve been making web pages since 1995, and had a personal home page (remember those?) since 1996. My first page was rather minimalist, and in a sense, a rebellion against what I’m doing here–writing a dialog with you in typical “blog post” fashion. Back then I felt that no one really went online to know more about a complete stranger. I still think I was right about that at the time (although things have changed). At least I sure never cared about what most people put on their home pages at that time. My page was utilitarian: find resources related to gaming, programming, music, or whatever else I happened to be interested in. More accurately, it was useful to me, a place I could store and show off a few things, including a rather cool photo album for the times.
