Back in the 1990s, a friend of mine was one of the first bloggers. Back then bloggers weren’t called bloggers but that’s what he was doing! He would chronicle our adventures as nightclubbers and other interesting occurences.

At the time, blogging software technology was not easily available so he used a free website account (like angelfire or geocities) and just continually published one loooong page of stories. Many were funny, some were exciting, a lot were more detailed than needed. All were great!

In the early 2000s, blogging was just starting to get somewhere and I went back to see my buddy’s words of wisdom. It turns out the free service had deleted his work. Everything was lost!

The lesson here: You get what you pay for in web country!
