There used to be a website called Sideblog.org, which allowed you to make extra blog posts on a miniblog that appeared on the sidebar of your site’s front page. All you needed to do was sign up and add a snippet of HTML code wherever you wanted theminiblog to appear. Thinking about it now, it seemed kind of like a precursor of the original Twitter, letting you share posts that didn’t deserve a full-length blog post.
Looking at Archive.org, it seems that Sideblog.org didn’t last that long (or maybe the site wasn’t crawled enough?), because the available version is from 2006. Feels like an idea that was ahead of its time, but I remember how nice it was to have a little space where I could just post things like “I’m hungry” or “Ugh” and not interrupt the flow of my main blog.
