Good news indeed


Heartfelt congratulations to Peter of Naked Blog on learning this week that he doesn't have colorectal cancer.

Peter is one of the blogosphere's grizzled veterans, repeatedly shortlisted for a lifetime achievement award.

For more than ten years he's been writing an online journal in reverse chronological order, mixing details of his day-to-day life with reminiscence, opinion and humour.

In other words, he was blogging before blogging was invented.

He goes back even further than John Bailey of Journal of a Writing Man, which started in 1998.


Gawd bless yer, Yer Royal Peter-ness!

I concur with your felicitations, sir. On the longevity point, the multi-talented aesthete Dickon Edwards has been at it since 1997, before they even had computers, and we was all young.
