How did I see the world as teenager, 20 years ago? I found an old copy of the blog with it's humble roots as hand-coded static HTML pages that I thought would be interesting to share here.
Taken on Wednesday June 23, 2021 at Blogging.Lately I’ve been going through my blog, looking at old photos and deciding which ones I should I re-feature and which I should cull.
I have a lot of old photos, some of which aren’t that great or are duplicates and really don’t make sense to keep on the blog. I really want to add new and interesting photos and sometimes it good to get rid of the old.
I have to say I like browsing my own blog. It has a lot of interesting content not found on other parts of Internet. But then again, I am a bit of a map geek, and are fascinated in land use and relationships of place and terrain, and they aren’t many other blogs that I am aware of that are quite like my blog. I guess it’s close to home.
I noticed a handful of old posts appeared accidentally trashed on the blog, so I restored them this morning, not realizing that they were just drafts or other outdated content. There back in the trash now.
At its core, guest blogging can be very valuable on high quality and relevant websites, but it also makes this technique very, very attractive to spammers. The vast majority of these emails are spam emails that you can ignore.
Sometimes I get the weirdest spam emails. The latest was on “student bullying” that was some kind of link boosting scheme that promised that I would be helping a fictional classroom if I were to link to it.
Then I get these random emails about featured guest posts all the time, and then emails about offering web services to improve my blog. Thank you, but no thank you.
