Republish Your First Post-A Friendly Challenge
A friendly challenge to those bloggers out there who’ve been around for a year or more. Republish that first post!
Dig back and find out where you were when you first started out; unsure of yourself and knowing that there was a lot to learn yet. Maybe even a bit nervous about hanging yourself out in public for all to see. And comparing that to where you are now.
It’s so easy to get lost in this ever changing online sea of the Blogosphere that sometimes I find that I’ve lost my way and ended up floundering around a bit and becoming discouraged. At that point it’s awful good to have an anchor to keep myself from being totally cast adrift and I found out that anchor was my first post.
If it’s one thing that all bloggers have in common it’s the ability to lose their way from time to time so let’s go find those anchors and remember what it was like to new, fresh and full of ideas.
If you decide to accept this “challenge”, please leave comment or trackback to this post or contact me via the contact form and I’ll begin putting together a First Posts list that I’ll publish here. If you have multiple blogs, pick the one or two that seem like the most appropriate.
Now let’s see what happens…

I had a server cutover which lost some of my posts. They are saved thank goodness on my hard drive in html files. Because I wasn’t smart enough to realize you could export posts at the time in Movable Type. So they’ve just been sitting there. [...]
