My Blogging Journey: From Geocities to Self-Hosting and Beyond

How did I get started blogging and why? And why do I continue to periodically ‘shout into the endless void’ that modern blogging seems to have become?

I suppose it started out of a sort of arrogance. I have thoughts and ideas that I sometimes believe others might like to hear. There is also a more generous aspect of my reasoning that imagines my experiences might help someone else in some way.

This post assembles a bit of my blogging history and includes my attempt to explain what drives me to share my weird thoughts on the internet.

Who is Kelly Adams?

You can look at my ‘About Me‘ page here. Thanks… bye!

Okay, that is a bit of a cop-out. That page is intended to be ‘light and airy’, and the story of me isn’t always that much fun. So I’ve decided to go a bit deeper here.

Elk! And Turkeys!

We live in a forest on the side of a small mountain. But our house is also just five minutes or so from the Castlegar’s downtown, so sharing our acreage with wildlife still seems rather surprising to me.

Motivation for posting more- Blaugust 2024

Blogging is something I have done since sometime before 2000, but officially using WordPress with the kgadams.net URL since March of 2003.

One thing I’ve never been, however, is a frequent blogger. I’m going to try to change that, especially now that I’ve split off a separate motorcycle related “topic” blog (https://geekonaharley.org) and plan to add another with my gaming posts sometime this year. To that end I’ve decided to take a bit of a leap and join up with Blaugust, an annual blogging community ‘festival’ to encourage… well, the blogging community 🙂
