People are surprised to hear I\u2019ve had a blog for almost twenty years, long before joining Facebook in 2007. It was a small group of friends, who wanted to keep in touch, that prompted the blog to start. I\u2019ve been online long enough that doing so was rather private. Few people had the technology, nobody saw what you wrote unless they knew where to look. We now share our stories in forums to remain private, many of which I own and manage myself.<\/p>\n

Our first blogs were full of family photos and stories personal enough that we were glad nobody read them. When we started using blogging formats, you needed to know html to format the project yourself. It was then that I started taking computer classes, html being one of the first college course I took. Later I would be laughed at for coding websites by hand, prompting my use of software like Adobe Dreamweaver, which I now own.<\/p>\n

It was a huge change to move over to the blogger platform, WordPress started in 2005 and was intimidating at the time; it was a huge leap of faith when I moved over in 2009. I no longer code my own websites, nor do I design with Dreamweaver. Most of what I do uses a self-hosted WordPress platform.<\/p>\n

Having spent so many years working with and building WordPress sites, I often find myself consulting others with their blogging or website projects. Teaching SEO, app manipulation and use, formatting themes, or helping with the design and layout of their site.<\/p>\n

In 2013, when interviewing for a new job, I set out to delete many of the earlier projects to bury anything discoverable; for privacy<\/a>. At this time, all things private are written using pseudonyms, shared with a select group.<\/p>\n

What about you; are you a blogger with years of experience, just learning the format, or a reader of the multiple sites available today?<\/p>\n
