I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

Hard to believe we've been posting blog entries for 3001 days in BCoF. Have you ever scrolled back to see what your first blog post was and when? Did you ever think, you would be blogging this long? Do you blog the same way as when you began or have you developed a style of your own?

First entry in "L'aura del Campo" from June 2005 still here (I deleted some): "Summer: 1 Rahmat 162 (June 24)" Open in new Window.

I read a few. I mention places and people. I included 'senses'. I highlighted snippets from witings here at WDC that I liked.
I really liked rereading them. Much better than what I write now.

My first commenter? VerySara Author Icon on July 25th. Red Writing Hood <3 Author Icon is the second from September 5th "Summer: 16 Asma (September 4)" Open in new Window. An excerpt of her poem was my 'treasure of the day'.

I deleted a lot of early blogs. Copied with comments saved elsewhere but in the early days no one was commenting. When I found Blogville, my blog took off and I rose to the top 10 and eventually #1 in views. It now has 104,924 views but I don't promote it. It has poetry I recently wrote (I sometimes use entries instead of items to enter contests) and poems I'm working on.

August 2, 2005 in "Hoarfrosts from Hell" "Destabilization of the homeless" Open in new Window. triggers me; but, it's well written. August 5, 2005 "Living on nothing" Open in new Window. reminds me of being penniless.

Both are set on 'preferred author' Neither have ever been commented on ... ever.

August 9, 2005: "Rant on idiot reviews at WDC." Open in new Window. is a rant about reviewing ... very little has changed here at WDC. I have. I mostly ignore reviewers. I shouldn't.

August, 2005: "The controversy over forms: haikus." Open in new Window. is a rant about haikus. I may need to quote it soon.

"Enga mellom fjella" was started in 2007 as my first blog ran out of space.

September 20, 2007: "Letter to Colleen from Somewhere. The trip begins." Open in new Window. I was off to Missoula to visit it for the first time! Ever. vivacious Author Icon was the first to comment (in about an hour). Those were the days when Blogville was alive! The 'poem' I included needs to be revisited. I should enter it into a contest of free verse. *Laugh* Give it its own 'item' or entry?

By entry #10 I already had 224 views with numerous comments every day. Think about that for a moment. On January 1, 2021 my Porthole (main) blog had 3,517 views. By the 30th, 3,644. That's 127 views in 30 days. 4+/day compared to 22+ way-back-when.

Blogville is d.e.a.d.

My blogging has withered as well.
