Where’s all the stuff??

I ran a few WordPress blogs in the mid-2000s, for gardening, bushcraft, woodworking, maybe a couple of other things. I had fun, it was a diary, and I had some decent traffic. Then I bought this domain in 2007-ish in part to sell custom knives. (Total knives sold to date: 0!) I ran through WordPress and Drupal and tried a couple of other content systems along the way.

Every few years I would add features until it took all my time to manage, then pare it back and let it rest. Now I’m going back almost to the start, to a simple blog mostly for my own amusement. I pay for it out of pocket and do not plan to run any ads or sell any stuff. Plus, I think Google shut down my AdSense a couple years ago for not agreeing to their new terms.

But I do have quite a bit of history stored in a bunch of mysql tables. At some point I will try to dig into those and see if I can republish some of the things I built or some of the places I visited.

Thanks for reading.
