I had no idea Sharon Hurley Hall was so new to blogging! I was blogging when Blogger, co-founded by Medium’s founder, Ev Williams, was still a baby. You might say that I’ve come full circle. You’ll see, in a moment, how little has changed in the past two decades.

Sharon writes, “I wrote this article after a discussion with Ming Qian. Would love it if my early blogging friends like Mitchell Allen and Holly Jahangiri would share their perspective.” So glad you asked, Sharon — and thanks for getting the ball rolling!

There Are Adults Who Haven’t Been Alive as Long as I’ve Been Blogging

One of my first blog posts was me trying to define what the heck “blogging” was — I didn’t imagine anyone else would read it, and no one knew back then that “the Internet is forever.”

You’ll see the proof of this, in just a moment.
