I only have the archives on my current blog from when I switched over to MT in January 2003. However, this is probably a good thing since I'm rather embarassed of the quality of my content when I first started and my writing style. But, hey, I was only 14 when I started so I can excuse myself that way. I think I had found out what weblogs were about a little while before I started mine. I think my dad probably got me onto the concept in some way. As an aside, a lot of commenters on Slashdot evidently don't understand Blogging and why it's a great thing.

I sort of had a clue of what weblogs were around late 2001 and knew what RSS/syndication was in mid-2002 when I started publishing an experimental weblog of my own.

However, you might want to ease new guys in with stuff like <a href="http://www.sharpreader.net">SharpReader</a> [requires the .Net runtime, which is the tool of either satan or jesus depending on who you ask, and may be a separate big download at 22MB] or <a href="http://www.feedreader.com/">Feedreader</a>, because it's both simpler and won't require you to have made up your mind in 30 days.
