It’s always interesting to see how popular sites looked a long time ago, I’m some cases it has taken some of the most popular blogs on the Internet almost ten years to get where they are today.

Using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, we took a look at how some of the most popular blogs on the Internet looked when they first launched. Lets take a look at the results…

    Ha – my wife still prefers the very first version of my site! That was also back when I was freelancing and my site was for my business rather than just being a blog like it is today. Oh, and my coding practices … I don’t even want to think about how bad they were!

    Problogger looked so citrusy back then! Cool, thanks for this collection. Checking out how popular sites looked a long time ago feels kind of like looking at people’s kid pictures. Very interesting.

    What’s so funny in seeing these is that I still see ones today that look like that. And this time next year, what we think is all that today, will be extinct. Thanks for sharing
