I didn't start blogging at all at Geocities until 1999 and I stopped around 2007 when I got this website at blogger.com (Blogspot). I got this one mostly at the time because of "Compose" which is a encoder engine which meant I didn't have to keep programming everything in HTML myself which is very time consuming. Also, I could more easily put things with pictures online using Compose which I liked a lot at the time. EVentually somewhere between 2007 and 2009 geocities stopped existing. I moved as much information as I could from there to this site and also to dragonofcompassion.com which I bought from Yahoo business around this time too.
