One of my first blog-type online journals was at LiveJournal, a community that evolved out of a teeny-bopper base (“put your diary online!”) to become a diverse, thriving community that spans all age groups.

A few years back, I decided that I wanted to go the DIY route, and this blog was born.

Today, LiveJournal having a major outage, which sucks for my friends who have their blogs on the LJ servers.

So a shout out to them – hope your blogs come back soon!
