Four years and counting…
August 21, 2009
My first post ever was on August 21, 2005, which was four years from today. I guess you could say this is my blogiversary (or my blograduation from Blog High). Anyway, in the spirit of wistful remembrance, I have a few images of what the site looked like in it’s different iterations. For example, the shot above is the first header I used (it only lasted about two weeks thankfully).
I’ll warn you now, a lot of these are not pretty, but hopefully you’ve all forgiven me for some of the more crappy designs I’ve had over the years. The screenshots (or at least most of them) come courtesy of The Wayback Machine. I’d like to thank all the readers out there for sticking with me for these last four years. It’s been a crazy ride, but I hope you’ve discovered some music you like along the way and I’m looking forward to many more years!

Congrats on four years – quite the milestone!
Wanted to let you know also that the Elliott Smith link is bringing up the Beatles track instead of the ES track.

I started following with the Japanese ad theme, still my favourite. Congratulations… old readers better get free tickets when you initiate an annual music festival.
