The life before WordPress

02
05

Everybody of us someday discovered WordPress for blogging, then decided to download it and install it for blogging. Some of you might even have chosen to run the entire website on WordPress, making use of the software as a kind of CMS. But what happened before?

I can remember some days back I had one of my first ugly websites with an iframe. The home site contained what was supposed to be a blog entry, but I did not actually call it “blog”. When I needed to implement comments I first tried to install some service whose name I cannot remember. It did not work. Then I chose Haloscan, which was pretty easy. Back then, all the techniques related to blogging nowadays were pretty much unkown. No software, no posting, no visual editor, no blogroll. And look at how things are going now. Nobody is obliged to squish content into Iframes for easy publishing -)

    I started my first “blog” with Geocities -p Guests sent the comments via an email form and I’d manually add it in -p I guess that makes me the most weird person ever -p
