Written on June 3rd, 2013:
I went through the Wayback Machine from Archive.org to recover blog posts that were written previous to my use of WordPress. I first started to blog in 2003, hosting a site on a server in my parents’ basement. At the time I was using the domain name nxseal.com and the blog part was just a text file that sat inside an iframe.
Then in September of 2004, I bought the jmcardle.com domain name and started to use shared hosting. The first blogging software I used was BBlog. I then switched to WordPress in March 2005. I did not carry my old posts over, which I now regret.
In June 2013 I used the Wayback machine to grab as many as I could, and put them in WordPress. I could not recover them all, however. But I do know what I’m missing.
