My fifth anniversary.  On July 2, 2004, I created a blog over at Blogger, but quickly became frustrated with the interface. So on July 19, I created a blog here on Typepad and imported my very few posts.</p><p>The next day, I published my first entry here at what was then known as Inside Allan's Mind.</p><p>I guess the fact that I let it all slip by me is an indication of how unimportant this blogging thing seems to me after five years.</p><p>Maybe I should euthanize this blog like Mike did his. Or not.</p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Allanthinks?a=7OtjQBLUkvk:VI8_Q4aroOg:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Allanthinks?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Allanthinks?a=7OtjQBLUkvk:VI8_Q4aroOg:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Allanthinks?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Allanthinks?a=7OtjQBLUkvk:VI8_Q4aroOg:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Allanthinks?i=7OtjQBLUkvk:VI8_Q4aroOg:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Allanthinks?a=7OtjQBLUkvk:VI8_Q4aroOg:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Allanthinks?i=7OtjQBLUkvk:VI8_Q4aroOg:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Allanthinks/~4/7OtjQBLUkvk" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.allanthinks.com/allanthinks/2009/07/well.html
