How blogs shaped the web ↗
I have a lot of nostalgia for the era of blogging that I grew up with during the first decade or so of the 2000s. Of course there was a ton of great content about technology and internet culture, but more importantly to me it was a time of great commentary and experimentation on the form of blogging and publishing.
