Does it really seem three years since I penned my first blog post? Actually it seems longer if anything.

This year I made a re-discovery that means that it probably has been longer. I didn’t realise it at the time, as the phrase blog probably didn’t exist back then, but I kept a fairly loose journal on my DeviantArt page for a few years too, and I joined up there in 2001.

It took over a year for me to post anything on it, and I opened simply, saying “I’m not much of a big writer”. But within a week I’d posted another, and it wasn’t regular, but I kept it fairly well updated.

I think I considered moving the content into the beginning of this blog when I switched to EE, but decided against it as it never was meant to be published here.

The anniversary of the blog marks another couple of important personal anniversaries for me too - admittedly not on the same day, but a few days either side, so it’s quite important for me to remember it. Most other people don’t seem to keep track of when they started writing like this, but it’s something I don’t really want to forget for various reasons.

This is the third full incarnation of JustBeyondTheBridge in three years. I wonder what platform I’ll be typing on next year?
