One blog blogging ...

History of the web in two clicks

Here's a two-click history of the web, showing how what the NY Times credits as the first-ever blog (?) has evolved from this to this.

Of course, this prompts two questions:

• were web pages really that ugly?
• is Twitter really that stupid?

First post

I'm starting this blog following a very enjoyable Writing for the Web course at the NUJ in December last year. Those courses always seem to go well, but this one was exceptionally lively, and there was some interest in keeping something going.

This blog is that something. The idea is to keep track of those who were on the course, follow their blogs, try and share resources, and maybe see if we can contribute to the everlasting debate about blogging and journalism?

Er...that's it really. See what happens.
