1993 | 8:59 a.m. July 25, 2008
The World Wide Web came to Utah in the early spring of 1993. I saw my first demo of the web in March (I believe it was that month) at a Novell network (Netware) meeting at the University of Utah. People immediately began creating web sites, using text editors to write HTML code. I created my first web site, a Mormon site, that way in, I believe, 1995. I remember when blogs, as they exist today, were first introduced. The first blogs I saw were personal diaries, and I thought "Why would anyone want to do that." I valued my privacy too much to tell the world about my personal life. I soon realized, though, that blogs could be on any topics, and within a year or so I was blogging my running experiences. In addition to highlighting Mormon blogs, I would encourage MormonTimes to highlight traditional web sites that are related to the Church. There are lots of those sites out there that have been fulfilling Elder Ballard's exhortation for over a decade.
