I started out reading blogs in early 2004 while in Iraq.  In March, I started
a blog at blogspot (and with a
little ‘customization’ of the stylesheet, I got it to redirect to my blog at
.Net junkies).  On April 16th, I transfered my initial posts to .Net junkies. 

One of the drawbacks of blogs is that old posts get buried even though the
information may continue to be relavent.  Here, I’ll review some topics:

• Notes
  collected my Noah Coad at the 2004 MVP summit (while I was still overseas).

  solution to having a collection of key-value pairs while maintaining the
  order.

  broad post written in an Iraq sandstorm.

  to why ASP.NET with vb might stop working.

• There
  is no performance difference between ASP.NET code-behind and code in a script
  block.

I’m not sure how many regular readers I have (that isn’t my goal), but I
figured that on average, my blog website gets 430 hits per day.  Google is
responsible for most of them by matching up searches with content on my blog. 
Then another 500 RSS hits for most blog posts.

Looking back on my blog, it really is a journal of my coding experiences, and
I can see how far I’ve progressed.
