    er, no idea. a very long time – 8, 9 years? I remember when it was all ‘cloudy skies’!

    For about 5 to 6 years…I think.

    I am a mega super lurker – this is my first time commenting, even! – siiince 2006 or 2005. I don’t think I’ve followed any other blog for that long!

    Umm, since before 2006, so I would guess around 2004 & 2005?

    2005. The jemology days :P

    Late 2005/early 2006, I’d say. One of the first blogs I started following since I discovered what blogs were!

    4 – 5 yearsish?

  10. JB said:

    Since about 2005, I think!

    Since 2004ish

    since you were co-leader in the soup faerie helpers guild :P

    Probably some time since 2007/2008, inconsistently. I never thought I’d actually know you, since you seemed like some kind of big, bad blogging celebrity back then. :P

    Oh Jesus, 8-9 years or something? A really long time =P. Thanks for the age reminder ;-)

  15. Melanie said:

    Oh god, years and years. Since 2005 maybe?

  16. Kristine said:
    On 07 Oct at 12:50 am

    2007/2008ish. Probably earlier! I know I read a lot during your “Pants” era. :)

  17. Amanda said:

    2008 I think?

  18. Meggan said:

    Oh my. At least since 2006, because I remember that Light on Dark design linked on your “about” page. Was the “cloudy skies” before that? I feel like I remember that too.

    (I guess what I’m saying is that I need a visual timeline of your design for me to remember when I started reading.)

    2006-ish? Lurker extreme lol.

    When I was in high school, I read it for about one year, from 2006-2007ish. Then I stopped reading it when I ditched blogging, and the resumed reading it in 2010, when I started blogging again.

  21. Cozza said:

    Since 2009. Relatively recent compared to a lot of the oldies here!

  22. Audrey said:
    On 07 Oct at 7:14 am

    4-5 years, I think.

  23. Tracy said:
    On 07 Oct at 8:04 am

    Hmm… maybe since nu.mb (or what was it called?) Or maybe even before that? Regularly following since Snark was created.

  24. Kris said:
    On 07 Oct at 8:07 am

    What? Who are you? How did I get here… I’ve never read this blog before in my life.

  25. Jennifer said:
    On 07 Oct at 10:44 am

    Since around ’09-’10, I think. I’m pretty new compared to everyone else! :)

  26. Nina Amelia said:

    3(?) years.. maybe longer?

    Silly question – I’m your very own personal stalker :]

  28. Marjo said:
    On 07 Oct at 3:52 pm

    Since about 2005. That’s seven years! Wow!

  29. Vera said:
    On 07 Oct at 4:22 pm

    Since forever, or at least that’s what it feels like to me.
    Hm… probably since my yoursite.nu days, so 2006 or 2005? I know it was before I finished uni (so before 2007) :P

  30. Amanda said:
    On 07 Oct at 5:30 pm

    I had to browse through the archives to answer this one–I found posts from 2005 that looked familiar, so at least since then!

  31. Clem said:
    On 07 Oct at 6:55 pm

    I remember reading your “happy 5th birthday Jemjabella” post, so… maybe since 6 months before then? I’m not sure what year that was, though. Maybe 2007ish.

  32. Alex said:
    On 07 Oct at 7:45 pm

    I’ve been following you since 2006/2007 ish? :) You were ranking quite high for your PHP stuffs, but always enjoy your posts!

  33. Mar said:
    On 07 Oct at 7:49 pm

    On and off for approximately forever. Since the layout was red with white circles in the background. I don’t even know. I was a kid then.

  34. Jenn said:
    On 07 Oct at 8:22 pm

    About 9 years give or take. Crazy. The wonderful world of the internet.

  35. Hanna said:
    On 07 Oct at 8:40 pm

    Early 2006 I think. How time flies…

  36. Michelle said:
    On 07 Oct at 10:43 pm

    I’ve been stalking you for over 10 years, I believe! I’ve known you since my Neopets-obsessed preteen years (SFH and then Neopian Teens, I think it was called).

  37. Rose said:
    On 07 Oct at 11:38 pm

    Oops, one day late.

    I don’t know. My first record of any email/blog comment interaction with you was in 2004, so probably around then… Our first conversation was about megabook, apparently. Hm!

  38. Carly said:
    On 08 Oct at 11:53 am

    On and off for years…. Certainly since I was at uni and easily from the Neopet days!! I’m sure I first found your site looking for tutuorials or something?

    These days I hardly read any blogs at all. I don’t subscribe to any either -yours is the only one I do randomly check from time to time… so I might miss a load of posts but I usually come and catch up :)

  39. Han said:
    On 08 Oct at 5:45 pm

    I actually can’t put a date on it!! I started blogging abough 11/12 years ago so its probaby about 10 years or such!

  40. Travis said:
    On 08 Oct at 9:50 pm

    Since 2006, when you gave Jess at Swimchick.net the Pants Award!

  41. Nela said:
    On 09 Oct at 8:14 am

    Hmm I’ve been an on and off reader before I discovered RSS, I really don’t remember when was the first time I stumbled into your stuff, but I suppose it was 2004 or 2005 something like that?

  42. Katrina said:
    On 09 Oct at 9:22 am

    I’ve never really commented on here, maybe once or twice, but I’ve been reading since about 2008 and onwards. You do really interesting blogs so i’m always coming back to see if there’s an update haha! :)

  43. Robmarie said:
    On 09 Oct at 3:44 pm

    For about 6 years :P

  44. Hannah said:
    On 09 Oct at 6:19 pm

    Since around 2006. :O

  45. Adrianne said:
    On 09 Oct at 7:47 pm

    I believe I started reading your blog since 2004 or 2005 when I discovered your Bellabuffs script for my old J-Pop fanlistings, but I rarely comment unless I actually had the time to comment. But yes, it’s been a long whole while now. ^_^

    Weirdly I’m writing a potted history of my time on the interwebs for a blog post (I’ve long been a lurker, and only in the last year actually written decent amounts) and checked in here as part of that… only to find this question! I’m not sure of the exact date, but it must be early-mid noughties. I remember Cloudy Skies too anyway, and got here via Neopets :)

  47. Stephanie said:
    On 10 Oct at 12:13 pm

    Woman, I knew you on Neopets. I think I might win.

  48. Erin said:
    On 11 Oct at 1:02 am

    Since SNOG! times. Maybe a bit before due to the Quilting Bee but not by too much.

  49. Cindy said:
    On 11 Oct at 1:13 am

    Good question! I think I started reading your blog in mid-2004 and recognized your name from the Neopets days (which is pretty much attesting to my stalkerishness), which means I’ve been shamelessly lurking for eight years. Damn.

  50. Anita said:
    On 11 Oct at 5:49 am

    I’m not sure…I think you had a light blue theme, or maybe it was dark blue. I don’t remember which came first xD My best guess would be 3+ years. I know that’s about when I was in my wannabe webdesigner phase, lol! Your posts come to my email so I’ve just been reading then since then :pp

  51. Amy said:
    On 11 Oct at 11:45 am

    Since about 2010, roughly, but I’d definitely heard of your site in the past (through the Pants Awards, naturally) back in my early teenage years!

  52. Kelly said:
    On 11 Oct at 2:07 pm

    3+ years certainly – I remember when Isabel was announced thinking “mommy blogger – need to leave”. Many moons later have my own Pip on the way and actually enjoy reading the poop talk!

  53. Ramsha said:
    On 12 Oct at 1:05 am

    From about 2008, or 2007… around there. I think. Maybe earlier! Time flies!

  54. Stephanie said:
    On 12 Oct at 6:17 am

    I actually knew of you from Neopets, forgot about you, then discovered your blog. I think I may have read your blog on and off for several years…didn’t start reading it in earnest until I got older, so maybe a couple years now. Oddly enough, I kind of grew up with your blog – from my Neopets heyday until now (I’m 20).

  55. Kirsty said:
    On 12 Oct at 4:00 pm

    2006-ish or there abouts.

  56. Sam said:
    On 13 Oct at 3:11 am

    Oh God, I still even check up on you from time to time… and I read your blog constantly in like, 2004?? Scary.

  57. Jenn said:

    For almost a decade, if not an actual decade. *old*
