Dr John J. Ray of Brisbane, Australia, who helped me get started as a blogger in November 2003, when I knew virtually nothing about the medium, began blogging on this date in 2002. That makes today his seventh anniversary. Congratulations, John! You must have been one of the first bloggers. John maintains many blogs, which you can peruse by going here and looking at the sidebar. Perhaps John will tell us what the blogosphere was like in July 2002, and how, if at all, it has changed during the past seven years. Some day, a history of blogging will be written. Since John was there at the beginning, he has an obligation to posterity to share his thoughts.
