In the era before smartphones, reading blogs is what you did at work when eating lunch at your desk, or it was the last thing you did before bed after checking your email. You ignored the banner ads at the top but clicked the links that let you hop from one blog to the next. 

It turns out we were lied to when we were told “the internet is forever.” Blogs are fading and there’s a void now that can’t be filled with reels or TikTok.

There are a number of blogs and blog creators that I still think of on occasion. I remember even if the internet forgets. The content in this book was either saved by me or scraped from data preserved by The Internet Archive.

I mourn all of the blog posts that I don’t remember because I will never read them again.
