I made a little weblog as a technology demonstration. It starts here and
works backwards:
http://www.lugnet.com/?p=990907
I made a top-level entry page too, but I didn't call it "weblog" because the
general population doesn't know what a "weblog" is yet. So I called it
"kibbles" (it's the first thing that popped into my head!)...

I'm headed to bed now, so the 7 Sep 99 entry won't be updated until
tomorrow. No guarantees that I'll be able to keep this weblog up-to-date,
but it's actually been pretty easy to create and update. So if people find
it useful, maybe it'll stick around. Mostly, it's just a technology
demonstration...yet another use for the editing/embedding system.
