Who started blogging before everybody else joined in?

I started in Oct 2010, which is fairly recent, because i like to try out new things. I wanted to host a website and understand the processes related to it like domain registration, security, SEO etc. Blogging requires dedication and motivation to go on. Please share your experience about when u started blogging and what keeps you going.

From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_blogging), I came to learn of Justin Hall, who started blogging in 1994, and who apparently has recently stopped blogging.

I have been writing about food at http://cooking4allseasons.blogspot.com since April 2007.

Then wanted to start a blog that could appeal to all the different ascepts of life, though I haven't true to that, I mostly blog on Health, Kid friendly recipes and vegetarian recipes at http://spicingyourlife.blogspot.

The motivation has always come from the fellow bloggers and my readers who try my recipes and say their family loved it. Nothing like being tested and approved!

It's impressive that some of you have been blogging for over 5 years now.

May 2006. 

I have one personal blog, one blog on travel and one on technology. I haven't been able to keep up posting frequency most of the time. Been blogging on free platforms in fits and starts. 

The travel and tech blogs were started a little over a year ago. The personal one goes back to 2006.

I have started a blog even before I knew what blogging was 2008. The reality is that it had suffered a natural death. The only blog that I have now A light hearted talk has been started in October 2010. Hope that it stays for ever.

I had to give up on Yahoo 360 (you are right Abhi) when they brought it down. My blog is saved in some form on my yahoo profile though it cannot be considered a blog anymore. It was sad saying bye to some wonderful friends I had connected over yahoo 360. They never came over to bloggers. Some of my favorite blogs have been re-published on bloggers. Specially some poems.

Its always sad to let go of your friends Faridaji... You are a fabulous Blogger.

Looks like a sad long tale. How painful it should have been to see a blog diappaer from the blogosphere!

I started my blogger activities in 2005. However, the one I am keeping right now started in 2006.  Seems I am pretty older blogger ?Smile

Who actually is a veteran blogger: A blogger blogging since many years or the one who has started it just now but still has got a large number of people raeding his blog?

@abhi dude and @arti dudette, i deleted my dummy posts of Jan 2005, the earlist post on my blog is from March 2005. many months i never updated, updated rarely in between untill 2008 and then 2009 ownwards, went on becoming more serious.

Arti

@Hemal which platform you used for blogging back then?

Hemal Shah
from Mumbai
13 years ago

I was on blogger @Arti and then in 2008 (i guess) moved to selfhosted wordpress. I can even say, having the self hosted wordpress prompted me to write more seriously

Hemal Shah
from Mumbai
13 years ago

Awww! I found out 2006 & 2007 posts missing. heck, i never checked them back :(

Arti
from Mumbai

May be you deleted them along with the dummy posts:-P
