Before the word was even invented! Since 1996 on and off! Back in the day there wasn’t WordPress, blogger wasn’t part of Google and you only had Greymatter as your blogger tools or diaryland or some ‘online diary’ thingy mingy. I’m an oldie when it comes to blogging, I been under many online aliases/names and I’ve seen may blogging trends appears and disappeared. I think the longest I been without blogging was when I was working full-time in retails and I would come home and have no energy to write a blog or to do anything. Once I left that job I took up blogging. It inspired me to studied fashion journalism.

How do you come up with posts?
