According to BoingBoing, Tom Coates’ blog, Plasticbag.org will celebrate its fifth anniversary on Monday. Cory also notes that BoingBoing will be five years old in January. Meg Hourihan’s blog will turn five next May, but two months before that, Jason Kottke’s blog will turn seven. Dave Winer’s blog will turn eight, which in weblog terms is like an Old testament lifetime.
The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century is not quite as long-lived; it got its start on November 10th, 2001.

Question: Does reading your RSS feed count as a page hit? I am curious because I typically read your blog through the feed, and am guessing I am not alone, so how accurate is your page hit count?

My blog is a baby. It will be turning one in two weeks :)
11/21/97 is the first post I have that's survived all the conversions. I'm not sure of the exact starting date, but that wasn't my first post.
