So you thought that blogging started circa 2002, did you? I have incontrovertible proof that it has been going a lot longer than that.
I've been doing this a long time...Yesterday, I logged into my email from the RSA library. Now, you have to know that Squarespace, which runs this site, sends me an email every time I’ve posted an article. (I don’t know if that’s a standard feature, or if they decided that, because of my advancing years, I needed to be reminded when I’d just written something, but anyway….) And when I checked, it told me that I had posted an article on the Writer’s Know-how blog 41 years ago! You can see that from the screenshot.
That means I started blogging at an incredibly young age, before the web was even invented. Beat that!
