Searching For The AOL Blogfather

For a while, I thought that I might have been the first AOL employee to have a blog. I know that can't be true, but I'm curious as to who the AOL Blogfather is (term stolen gracelessly from Reid, who is one of my blogfathers).

If you're an AOL or Netscape current or former employee and you have a blog whose first post is older than 7/20/2000, please let me know (you know, post a comment). It would be nice if the blog was still active.

Why do this today? Well, another great AOLer has started a blog, Jacob Rosenberg. Jacob's a great guy and one of my favorite operations folks. His second post is a short history of the many web servers that have come out of AOL. I've used all of them at some point, and remember them (mostly) fondly.

Only nine days until this blog's sixth birthday. I still haven't decided what to get it yet.

You can use Textile formatting in your comments (but no HTML). Here's a quick cheatsheet:

Bold text: *this will be bold*. but this isn't.
Italics: _this will be in italics_, this won't.
Links: "link text":http://url.com
If you know the rest, go for it.
