Thanks for the link Zura! I find it interesting though that so few of the diarists profiled mentioned Julie Petersen's site - Awakening - which really WAS the first "personal" site online. It was a very heady time back in '94-95 where you could literally read every single new site on the web. It was a close knit group that imploded unfortunately. But certainly made for interesting times! :)

That's interesting to hear about. I was online back then, but didn't know anything about online journals then, unfortunately. But it was a heady time, wasn't it? I was in amazement most of the time :) Thanks for sharing that.
