blog! “Necroposting - blogging from before you started blogging”
Jon Hicks has a lovely blog post about his site's design. In it, he briefly touches on something I find interesting: Blogging like it's 1972 I also finally realised that there's nothing stopping me from adding journal posts dated from before I started blogging.

I'm not a blogger, I write for myself:
