The first site I ever had was a fanpage for the old soap opera another world! I joined the internet around the time that it was going off the air and I had made lots of friends on the old NBC chat room that they had for it called talkcity I believe it was called. Phew.. this is like back in 1999! I quickly started mixing in different soap operas including sunset beach, passions (I had one of the first 5 passions websites online.. I think like I was the 3rd actually!) Then I started mixing in a little “blogging” in there too!
My one site was about 3 years old by the time I went away to Appalachian and if you think I am uncensored now you are WRONG because well.. I wrote about LOTS of things there in LOTS of details that I probably shouldn’t have but it wasn’t like I was embarrassed lol. I think in lots of ways I just had lots more going on in my life then that was exciting to me!
I am talking the days of FTP and FRONTPAGE and all of that good stuff ha ha.
Anyways one day I was gone to school and one of my then guys, Mark showed up and found my site and read a bunch of stuff that was frankly none of his business but it just didn’t go well from there and I just quit blogging after that. At that point it wasn’t even called blogging yet. I kinda switched in and out with Myspace(which thankfully I managed to rescue all my posts from there before it got really tricky to snag them all) and Livejournal (which I also have backed up).
After David and I got married I wanted to start blogging again, so I said I don’t care if I make friends, get comments, etc I just want a place to document my life. .so I started out on free wordpress and then went from there
O.k. so this prompt didn’t ask for my blogging history, but oh well it kind of evolved into that lol .I am sure I left a few things out along the way too. .I know i had Sweet Valley fan sites and Days of our lives ones too.. I think the first actual site that I had mentioned though was on gurlpages!
I liked this prompt 🙂 I miss the good ole days of “blogging” sometimes .. things were much more simple!
