Man you’re again so right. I had a personal webpage up in 1997. 1997!!! And I was pretty much doing the same thing I’m doing with my blog– except I was doing it ALL BY MYSELF. Now I just post, publish, lather, rinse and repeat. It’s easy. And thank goodness, because doggone it if life didn’t get a whole heckuva lot harder.

Kent, I have to admit your analysis is correct. As much as I’d like for blogs to be more “world-changing”, it is really the individuals with the ideas and the desire to share knowledge. Modern blogs are just a tool to get it done – CMS for the masses if you will.

Sadly, I lost a lot of it in the first dot.com bust.Even more sadly, the company that had signed an agreement to buy ACCBoards.Com for go to the house money went under.Good times, bad times.

Totally right, Kent. And I notice from the fine print on your old page that you made the front of Money magazine in 1999, and your portfolio was up 40% at that point. I hope you didn’t lose it all when the bubble burst like I did I didn’t make the front of Money, but my financial website (which no longer exists) was “Site of the Day” in Worth magazine in 1996. Everything old is new again.
