Fast forward 4-5 years to 2002 and when I came across my first blog and wondered if I too could start one I remember feeling again that perhaps it would be beyond me. I didn’t let the feeling stop me this time though and began to investigate. I even made an attempt at designing my own template/theme (it was ugly but I managed).

My first experience with HTML was back in 2002, when I wanted to change the design of my my first blog. As a result, it took me three months of writing completely in plain text before I learnt my first bit of HTML code. <strong></strong> With HTML, the post has paragraph breaks, bold text, and more.

As I prepared for a recent mini ProBlogger event event in Perth, I created a little list of some of the ‘dos and don’ts’ of blogging that I wish I’d known back in 2002 when I started. Don’t publish large chunks of text – break it up and make it scannable. Don’t hide your mistakes – be transparent.

Mobile phones were certainly around when I first started blogging but when I started blogging in 2002, there weren’t too many smartphones. That’s what I did back in 2002, 2003. I probably wouldn’t ever blog from my phone, I wouldn’t create text content on my mobile phone.

When I first started blogging back in 2002 I was a technological Luddite. For the first three months I didn’t even know how to make text bold. Given that I didn’t even know how to bold a piece of text, you’ve probably guessed that my blog wasn’t exactly a work of art. So let’s start with the first hurdle I faced….

Of course you’d be focusing upon content as a blogger, a blogs not a blog really without some kind of content whether that be video or text or audio or images.

When I started blogging in 2002, smartphones weren’t really a thing. While you can create text content on your mobile phone, I find it cumbersome. But to make things easier for yourself, you should probably stick to straightforward posts that don’t take too much writing or managing. Working While You’re Travelling.

I started blogging in 2002, 2004 for ProBlogger, of course things have changed. Do you want your logo to be included in those text overlays? Underlining is something I don’t generally do.

I started blogging in late 2002. A lot of them were text-based ads, and about all you could do in terms of customising them was change the colours. Because I didn’t create them all overnight, nor did I create them all at once. And knowing the journey I took to create them all over time may help you do the same. Starting from scratch.

It was my worst subject in high school and I was incapable of making text bold on that blog for three months after starting it. That post has hardly any text at all.

When I was looking back at some screenshots of my very first blog from 2002, recently, I was amazed by how boring it looked. Not a single post in the first few months of my blogging used even an image – it was purely text. Not a single post on the front page of that blog in 2002 had even any image in it, it was purely text.

In the story, I used some text helped by ChatGPT and SudoWrite, and I documented it all in this in this blog post. Was that in the 90s? I did a blog post all about it.

You might feel certain you’ve read novels or stories where titles of works were  not  styled according to Chicago’s preferences. You’re probably right, and there are several possible reasons for that. What the devil is it?” (173).

There was just almost no comprehension back in 2002 what a blog was, at least here in Australia. That ’ s what we ’ re doing today.
