#SETUP MARSEDIT TUTORIAL UPDATE#
If you’re reading this, consider this an invitation to start or dust off your own blog and update it regularly. He then invited others to join in on the creation of long-form content: As he writes, “let’s get those RSS feeds going again!" I don't think we're going to get back to blogging's heyday, but a revival would be great.Īnd with that, he announced he was going to do a “ 100 day blogging challenge”. Mastodon allows for longer thoughts than the birdsite, but I miss the days of blogrings, conversations in comments, and so forth. With the renewed focus on owning your content and DIY web / #IndieWeb ethos, I'd love to encourage folks to think about more long-form content. Joe Brockmeier, who I’ve known from back in the amazing early days of Linux in the early 1990s, recently posted to his Mastodon account: Pretty wild to think that was 25 years ago! Happy Birthday to “weblog”! But I do remember well that other sites were hosting “weblogs” and “blogs”. I started what we now call “blogging” back in 2000 on a site called Advogato that actually referred to your content as a “diary”. On December 17, 1997, inspired by Dave Winer's Scripting News and running on Winer's Frontier publishing software, Barger began posting daily entries to his Robot Wisdom Weblog in the hope of finding "an audience who might see the connections between many interests." These postings featured "a list of links each day shaped by his own interests in the arts and technology," thus offering a "day-to-day log of his reading and intellectual pursuits” and coining the term "weblog" as a novel form of web publishing.Īt two syllables, “weblog” was of course ripe for shortening and so did evolve into “blog” just a couple of years later.Ī “log of daily activities published on the web” became a “weblog” which then became a “blog”. Reading the Wikipedia article about Jorn Barger, we learn: The Wikipedia article for “Blog” says that the term was coined by Jorn Barger on December 17, 1997. Let’s check in there and see whether this is going to happen or not! 😀īy way of a Mastodon post this morning, I learned that the term “weblog” is 25 years old today! 100 days from today is April 29. Fifty days from now will be March 10. I have a LOOOOOONNNGGGGGG list of topics… I… just… need… to…. Many reasons… each one small in its own way… but the end result is that I stopped.Īnd yet the point was to try to push myself into getting BACK into the routine of writing every single day. So including this post you are reading now, I will have published 28 posts in 50 days, which comes in at 56%. And then, the only post I have published so far in January 2023 was on January 1. Then I missed the 29th, published on the 30th, and missed the 31st.
Then I had a four-day run from the 19th to 22nd, missed the 23rd, and then a five-day run from the 24th through 28th. Then I missed December 16th, published on the 17th, and missed again on the 18th. From December 1 to 15 I published every single day. Wellll… how many different ways can you say. Back on December 1, 2022, I boldly said that I was going to attempt 100 consecutive days of blogging.
