Manuel Matuzović ☛ The Ghosts of Markup Past
As a well-seasoned web developer, a clear euphemism for my age, I reminisce about the early days of markup through the haze of strong emotional glasses. I see the past from an extreme nostalgic fondness for the simplicity of the time when a basic text editor and the ability to view source was all you needed. Yet it can just as easily go to a secret shame and embarrassment of admitting that we hacked around with invisible pixels, nested tables, and all manner of quirky presentational elements.
This post attempts to map those extremes and the space between them. The ultimate outcome would be to encourage you to personally explore the history of the web to unearth things that could be rediscovered, recycled, or recast for the modern web as well as learn from past mistakes.

Scott Dubinsky ☛ Using Gmail With A Custom Domain

Brandon ☛ Finally, a Blogging Archive Solution
I'm a firm believer in clearing off your blog/resetting it from time-to-time. I know others feel differently, but I have no interest in having someone stumble upon my blog and read some ignorant information I wrote fifteen years ago, or something I published while dealing with a mental crisis. Times change, we change, and our writing doesn't always define our current beliefs or interests. So, for me, I like a clean slate every so often.
With that being said, I have also been looking for a way to better store my writings. Exporting from various blogging platforms has always been a pain, and I want a place where I could access them all (photos included) but also export them in useful formats. So, this morning, I began tinkering with Ulysses and I think I found my solution.
