Editor's Notes

\n

Regular updates in a journal format are what differentiate a blog from a static website\n

1994: Justin Hall creates links.net as a list of all the places he&#x2019;s visited on the internet\nNot much has changed\n1998: Number of blogs on the internet: 23\n

2000: Rise of the online journal: livejournal and blogger\nBefore that we were stuck using message boards- Wedding Channel\npeople less interested in my shoes and menu than they were my experience in the path lab\n\n

2010: Estimated 450 million blogs in English alone\n

Very first post February 2009-\nboring template, pink, generic picture of Emmett\nEthan (changed to Angus). pulled my shirt down etc etc\n\n\n

Pet doctor barbie- goofy sense of humor\n

Invoke Dr. Khuly\n

John Gabriel&#x2019;s Greater Internet Jerk Theory (PG version)\ncnn\nIf that&#x2019;s your thing, go for it- but you reap what you sow\n

\n

hard to have rational discussion with someone who is fanatical\n

Not because I think we are above reproach or that there are things we can&#x2019;t handle\nBut this is classic chum\ntrusted profession, adversarial relationship \nPocket in NH\n

They are looking for excuses to talk about their beefs with vets\nSpent the effort making a whole website about it\n

\n

You have an online presence whether you like it or not\nAre you going to build it, or are you going to let your disgruntled clients on yelp build it for you?\n
