Happy WordPress Anniversary?! I've been doing something akin to 'blogging' on the Internet for quite a few years. I don't have an exact date that I started and the definition of 'blogging' is kind of tenuous. But my notes indicate that I began sharing my thoughts and opinions on the web sometime around 1998 or 1999. Every once in a while, though, I get some reminder of the durability of this strange pastime of mine.
