A very warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to I, Shirley, Shirley Siaton-Parabia‘s blog that covers sundry topics and issues that pique her interest, most with online references and links.
I have blogging since 2001, back in the day when Pitas.com was the automated journaling platform of choice and if you had Greymatter or B2 running on your self-hosted domain you were the bee’s knees of geekery. Weblogs pretty much started out with short-form posts chock-full of links to various articles and memes online, much like Twitter these days.
In December 2019, during Christmas break, I was browsing through my old links list and came across Kottke.org, arguably the grandfather of blogs, which still retained the old-school flavor of hypertext link sharing rather than long-form ramblings (the latter may have been perpetuated by Blogger and LiveJournal midway through the Noughties).
IShirley.com was purchased on 3 August 2019, but was eventually launched as a more traditional style of weblog on 20 April 2021. My more structured personal journal is at ShiSia.blog. The rest of my websites are listed at Very Shirley.
I, Shirley is also available on your favorite social media channels and sharing networks. We have Pinterest Boards and a Tumblelog. You can also follow us on Instagram and Twitter.
