I was on CyberJournalist.net the other day and saw they mentioned the first-ever journalism blog hit the WWW in August 1998. Well, if that effort, covering a hurricane, was the first hard-news blog, then perhaps I wrote the first official soft-news/features blog. In November 1998, I chronicled my adventures through the Seattle International Comedy Competition with The Sun of Bremerton, Wash. Whilst that newspaper only had room for one story at the end of the competition, the cybersphere had plenty o' room for me to describe the journey with daily entries.
