    only for couple of days. Well I had a blog on myspace but I don't think that counts but I am miffed that I am not on verified on technoratti.. whatever that means.
    1. macomagazine
      A few days. Exactly what problem is it you're having with verifying your blog with Technorati?
  3. Reema
    Blogged for few weeks now. Love it, but it saddens yet annoys me that VERY FEW bothers to comment or give feedback. Just hoping more serious people will get involved over time..

    I got a personal blog in xanga since 2003 but haven't updated it since 2005. My blog here is about 2 months old sadly i do not have the luxury of time to update it everyday.

    The newest hockey blog site I run at The NHL Arena Program is almost 5 months old. Before that I was blogging on myspace and yahoo...and even The Sporting News.

    Since before the invention of the word "blog". Around 9 years, on and off, although it was more a (public) personal journal up until around 2 years ago. I've started over again on different platforms 4 or 5 times. Gives me a kick in the pants...

    I've had my blog at WordPress for around 5 weeks.

    This is a great question because although "blogging" has been around for only a short while, I think I've been blogging on paper for years now. I love commenting on things through writing and expressing myself with words. Actual online blogging? I've been up to that for at least a few years now. I took a break from it for a bit and am now back to doing it for my company, Starmedia Communications. I'm having a blast writing articles about what I love to do -- Advertise!

    I joined Blogger July 2005, but I haven't been blogging for that long. It's only recently that I started blogging for real. I tend to delete my blog when I'm bored with it, but I think I'll keep this one
  13. onlinehustlers
    Great answers. I've been internet marketing for a while now, but I've just decided this month that I will become a full time blogger.

  16. bloodorchid
    Since February of 2002. Not on my current site, though.
  17. ThriftShopRomantic
    Since last September. Though I'd technically been blogging on a different site well before there were blogs...

    (Yikes, I just made that sounds like some old coot granny reminiscing over having to walk to school up hill both ways in snow drifts, didn't I?) :-)

    But really, six or eight years in Web terms is a lifetime!

    I would say on an off (mostly off) for about 9 years.

    Started in 2005 with few post and then stopped for a year and started blogging actively since August 2006 and still going strong. :-)
  20. GrimlyFiendish
    Since October, 2006 which surprises me. I thought it had only been a few months. DOH! Doesnt time fly.

    eight and a half weeks
  22. bnsullivan
    I first had a blog on Lycos in late 2004. It was really lame -- not at all thought through, so I ditched it. In Feb. 2005 I began my Aircrew Buzz blog, mostly writing ranty essays. It evolved to the news blog that it is now. I added a few more specialized news blogs as I went along. I now have 4 news blogs (three of which are doing very well), and early this year I began a sort of experimental blog where I write about my research.

    I have ideas for a couple more blogs -- totally unrelated to what I write about now -- but right now I just don't have the time for any more blogs! :-b

    I have blogging for about a year and half...

    I started to test the waters in 2003 with a couple personal blogs, but moved into business and nonprofit blogging in 2005. I changed my content mix in August 06 though and that made all the difference.

    I've started on MSN Spaces, then moved to blogger, and I'm not running wordpress on my own domain.
  31. augel
    i think it was december 2005. i was feeling lonely that time, so i started blogging.
  32. wakish
    Since Feb 2007, so like 3.5months..
    But I'm not a consistent blogger, I post a topic when I feel I can produce something good..
    I just like making friends, integrating communities and sharing what I know..etc..

    Cheers!

      Welcome to the blogosphere!
  34. loonarlanding
    Well, lets see ... Wrote in AOL Journals when they first came out Around 2003 or so for 2 years. Then moved to Blogger when I left AOL.

    Some time in 2005, I created my first domain wantonabandon.com (now I'm going to use that one for graphics only not "blogging") But then life got "in the way" and I stopped blogging there and only stuck to blogger.

    Last month I said I want to blog again! Forget blogger!

    Well, that's not entirely true. Blogger will have archived posts for me on my current blog as it did for my AOL Journal.

    I've been blogging on LoonarLanding.net since April 26, 2007
  35. wooglah
    My first blog is online since June 2004 Its in Serbian, and blogger powered! Now I have my own domain for it - walkersblog.info...

    Later I started more of them, in English...
  36. lasunrose
    I began blogging a few months ago. It is a healthy outlet to chronicle all the bull other people give me. I enjoy reading my own blogs as well as everyone else's blogs!!! I just tried to post this comment, but apparently my computer's hacker didn't want me to post it, because my computer went to a blank screen after I submitted it, and I have to re-submit it now.

    I started on January 16th, 2007.

      Only a couple of months but have been loving every minute of it.
  40. dearaewi
    I've been blogging on and off for a couple of years but always lost interest, most probably because I never found a subject that I truly loved to blog about. Most recently I have been blogging for a bit over a month and my subject is something that I love and the topics are those that I am passionate about. No loss of interest at all! It makes a big difference. I think you should blog what you believe rather than what you 'think' you should blog about.

    My first post to my blog was made on April 5th, 2007, at 2:42 AM (Mountain Standard Time)...
  42. atenea1982
    I discover it a year ago, but i really blog since april 2007
  43. bornliar
    I've had a blog on LiveJournal for years -- still have it, actually -- where I write annonymously to an audience of maybe 45 people.

    But I just started my public, real-name blog at the beginning of the year when I revamped my writing site. I write on both blogs, but rarely cross-post between them without heavy editing. I tend to censor myself more on my public blog, since prospective employers, publishers, agents, dates, etc. can Google me and find it easily.

  45. ejcooksey
    just a little over 2 months
  46. Angela
    Piddled around on Blogger a year or so ago. Then on wordpress.com. Finally got brave enough to host my own in the last 5 months or so.

    I am so glad I did, too. It's much more satisfying to have more flexibility than what I had before, so I don't expect to stop anytime soon this time around. Have a couple more blogs in the planning stages.

    June 5th is my first birthday!
    Still learning about all the technical stuff, would love to learn more but I have limitted brain space!
  53. Randlet
    2 years and 30 odd blogs later, I've only just settled on consentrating on 5 blogs, and hopefully I don't get any more half backed ideas and decide to start another one that ends up going no where.
  54. pointlessbanter
    In August I will have been blogging for three years. I started out on MySpace and then eventually branched out past that.
  55. kirewass
    Last year in March I started the first one. One month later a second one. Both written in Swedish. After 9 months I got tired of the first one. In January 2007 I started a third one, written in English, which keeps me occupied. It is remarkable that the first one still has a Google Page Rank of 3/10 although I haven´t "touched" it for 7 months.

    What I have noticed quite recently is that information on my newest blog is indexed by Google but (surprisingly) sometimes it vanishes. I suppose Google robots don´t like my English blog minareceptsamlingar.blogspot.com

  59. WengOnline
    I started blogging last year, but really made an effort to get my own domain and self-hosted wordpress in March 2007. I've been on forums and on chatrooms ever since i got online in the late 90's, but blogging is still very different.

    do drop by and leave a few comments, feel free to review the blog here on blog catalog.

    More than two years and two blogs. One is on blogspot and the other is a wordpress blog self-hosted. And I have one on the way, makes three.
  74. Majik
    Just over two months. Won't start another blog until my current one gets over 90 hits a day, still a long way to go.
  75. Unfettered
    Off and on since about 2002, 2003. First LiveJournal, then WordPress on its own domain... and now I've scrapped everything and started all over.

    It's kind of fun to be a "n00b" again.
  76. exinco

  80. JoyChaser
    I've been "blogging" for about two years, by which I mean I had a personal journal site that I updated with little reliability and with little sense of focus as to the content. Recently, I've been trying to active blog on a more regular schedule, with more focused topics.

  96. Ponkotsu
    January 1st 2007. Though I didn't officially really get going till last June, as I recall. Over a year on the internets and well over half a year fully active and... still not a lot of regulars or all that many hits, but I'm trying, anyway, haha.
  97. inkjetoffice
    I just had my site blog up for less than a month. It doesn't have much to read yet. But, I'm sure I will build it up with all your help.
  98. Bobzilla
    Started off with Dead Journal in 2001 I think. Only really got into blogging seriously in the last 2 years though.
    1. Bobzilla
      in fact now I think about it I used to manually update an old basic html site I used as a sort of early blog/flickr back in about 94-96. Bloody hell I've been doing this for a while! :S
  99. stevewar
    I started in November of '07. Blogging pretty much rules. Everyone has something they are passionate about that they should write about. If you happen to make money off of it, GREAT!
