A few months ago I learned about a little-known tradition known as the World Blog Day.
So, does anyone celebrate World Blog Day? Not seeing a ton of information about it online, other than that it started in 2005 and the date was chosen because 31/08 spells "blog" (3108).
From searching about it online, it doesn’t seem like it picked up. So this is my attempt to bring it back. Over the past few years, I’ve seen the rise of the fediverse and sites like Glitch and Neocities. There is definitely an interest in bringing back the old web that we’ve (never) lost.
So hey, take the day to appreciate your favorite blogs, or start your own!
- Glitch makes this easy with their blog project template, and you can start for free!
- Ghost has a relatively affordable starter plan, and is planning to join the fediverse
- and there’s always the trusty WordPress, which I use myself, and that you can pay $4/month to have your blog hosted for you
