Ed Bilodeau mentioned he just missed his 8th anniversary of "personal publishing on the web".
An excerpt from his first post, dated March 12th, 1998 (notice the dated space URI):
Spend any time at all surfing the Net, and you quickly discover that there are alot of people who spend alot of time and effort publishing information on subjects that interest them. Whether it's a father putting up pictures of his family, a student building a shrine to her cat, a teenager listing the titles in his video game and music collection, or a young lawyer designing a site dedicated to her favorite Californian wines, they a ll have some things in common. They all feel passionately about something, and they all want to share their passions with others.
Here's to at least 8 more years sir. And it'd be great to see you sometime. :)
