I'm Joe Crawford. First website: 1996. First blog post: February 2001 and ongoing. I've been a web developer since 1997 or so. I was a member of the Web Standards Project. You might know me from San Diego IndieWeb Camp and from Front End Study Hall
My site: ArtLung.com
I created my own site artlung.com in the 1990s by hand. Later I integrated a blog using Blogger.com's FTP functionality. In 2005 I migrated the blog from Blogger to WordPress. In 2010 I wrote Migrating an old Blogger blog to WordPress. Since then I've helped a number of people navigate the quirky process of moving blogs and websites.
Elsewise
ArtLung Lab
ArtLung Lab is a site that grew from experiments on my website in the 1990s. It was my laboratory for learning web development. It grew larger than what fit on my site. I incorporated Disqus comments a few years after that. In 2024 I added webmention support, user-customizable theming, and rewrote and revamped most of it.

Smorgasborg
Smorgasborg started as a subdirectory of my website (in 1999) with the description of This is a bunch of stuff I have no idea what to do with. So I figured: hey! I'll put 'em up on the dang web!. Web Pages Must Live Forever and Cool URIs don't change are principles I had in mind when I created it and as I add to it. The name is a misspelling of the word "smorgasbord."
