Since I’m insanely proud of this, I’ll be more specific: I started online blogging 11+ years ago and I’m still going. Started 18 January 1997, which according to the Online Diary History Project makes me the 21st blogger on the net. That’s not for any profesional stuff, just “let people know how I am” personal blogging – I keep it at LiveJournal at the moment but before LJ I did it with homegrown scripts.

My ATMac blog which I think of as “business” even though it’s not monetized (yet) is about 2 years old IIRC.

Hmmm. Since Live Journal started. It was brand new when I started a blog there. So after checking to see it was started in 1999, so I got started around year 2000 I suppose.

I have a good memory, just short.

Hey Darren, start a poll about how long people have been doing blogs for business, blogs for politics, personal blogs, etc. It would be interesting to see how long people have been doing different types of blogs.

My humble weblog has been in existence since December 1999. It might be the longest-running political weblog still going.

It’s true, you are one of the answers and in fact the answer that I got. “You are most like Darren Rowse.” I giggled because yours is the only blog I’ve subscribed to for over a year (love it by the way!).

I’ve been blogging for a long time, but only recently have I started to do it a bit more seriously. I’m surprised by the amount of new comers to the game known as blogging.

Steadily blogging at ‘Serge the Concierge’ since March of 2005.

Launching a companion blog to my ‘Just over 50 and not dead yet’ Panel for ‘South by Southwest’ (being voted on right now).

The focus of both panel and blog will be to highlight the fact that the online world is not populated just by 20 somethings.

Here is the link if you want to find out more (and/or vote on it)

I started my photoblog somewhere in July. I already had two completely unstructured blogs in 2005 and earlier this year (I deleted both in the meantime). They were to general and to negative (about work, personal life, etc.). After talking to a friend and reading lots of articles on ProBlogger, I started a far more serious blog which is more structured and well-thought off. Now it’s all about photography and other related topics.

I have been blogging more than a year, personally, but as soon as I found a better tool I really got serious about it. I was using google’s tool and linking to individual posts from a basic html page, what a maintenance nightmare. I finally got on WordPress and it has been so much more fun and I have been much more active.

(Just) coming up for 3 months so I’m a newbie. I’ve learned so much from ProBlogger and thanks Darren.

Hey Darrin, I started my first blog after reading Problogger.
I love it, and will continue until the day I cannot write any longer.

Keep up the great work…

If comparing to last year it may also be worth noting you’ll have a larger readership than then.. for example I came here via the facebook ‘blog friends’ application. I’ve been blogging for 4 years but until today had never seen this blog and possibly wouldn’t have stumbled across it and taken your poll were it not for facebook..
