I know, it’s ironic that my first post for 2009 is about 2003-2004, but…. <\/em><\/p>\n

I was looking at some old website designs and was reminded that I had created a static HTML website for blogging while I was in Japan. This was called Steve’s Japan Journal<\/strong> and it is not available anywhere online, right now. I have now manually copied these 32 entries into this blog and tagged them with JapanJournal<\/a>. I stopped using this method of blogging because it took too long to update and it was actually served by my family’s computer in North Vancouver – which didn’t exactly fill me with confidence while I was in Japan.<\/p>\n

So what did I use next? Well, everyone else in the Gifu flock were using LiveJournal, so I joined them (reluctantly). I’ve imported the 37 LiveJournal blog entries, as well, and tagged them with LJImport<\/a>. Most of these entries were also made in Japan. All entries made in Japan, from both sets, are tagged with Japan<\/a>. After LJ, I moved to a self-hosted WordPress, which is what I’m currently using. I’ve left the Hello World!<\/em> post in there so it’s obvious when this happened. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It took much longer than I thought to import all the entries, especially the Japan Journal ones, as I had to edit the timestamp for each and add a bit of formatting. And I found myself reading them again. Interesting how I’ve both changed and stayed the same. =) I found it great listening to music that I listened to at the time, while reading them.<\/p>\n

I want to read!<\/h3>\n

Many of the links and images are broken, because they don’t exist any more, and the formatting may seem a little strange (especially from LJ). I’m not too keen on reformatting everything. That being said, if you’re feeling like a walk down memory lane, you can start (re)-reading about my 11 month Japan experience, from June 2003 to May 2004, right here: <\/p>\n

A word of caution, however, it’s quite a bit of reading!! ^_^<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
