Ask HN: What has your personal website/blog done for you? 3 years ago
I'm not very active here, but I've had a personal site since 1995 and my main domain since 1996. I started blogging on LiveJournal in 2002. I installed WordPress on my site shortly after it was released (2006 or so, I think?). I have the LiveJournal entries in the WordPress blog now. I have another site now, too, where my professional information lives.
I've gotten several consulting gigs and met some lovely people because of my sites. I got my current job because an executive ran across one of my sites, then tracked me down on LinkedIn. That's the second one I've gotten because of them.
