almost 5 years
I finally got around to putting the monthly archives back on the sidebar. I removed them originally because I have this nifty by-page navigator and didn’t want this big-ass month-to-month archive list on the sidebar. However I said fuggit and put it back. I have it set up in a way now that when you hit an archive link it shows titles only with all the posts for the given month. In fact I used to have my blog like this years ago when I was on my previous blog engine.
Speaking of which, this blog has been around almost five years.
It’s gone thru three blog engines: Serendipity (used for a couple of months in 2004), MovableType (2004-2007) and WordPress (2007-present).
Its design has changed at least a ba-zillion times.
It started around two months after Gmail came into existence and almost a year before YouTube existed.
Blog spam didn’t exist in 2004 but now obviously it does. This was a huge reason I switched over to WP because of its integrated Akismet. It just goes to show that whenever something gets popular on the internet, it will be spammed. It happened with email, then forums, then blogs, then YouTube comments (where it’s still a major problem), then Twitter and so on.
