Can you imagine that there were times without blogs? Nowadays everyone and their grandma has a blog (or 5 blogs like me). During 2000-2004 I’d been trying to invent blogs and failed. Yep, if you didn’t know I had one of the best inspiration blogsnews sites on the web at valyard.ru and valyard.com…
My main problem was that I tried to post news issues every day with new cool sites. There just wasn’t that many flash sites around. During that period I didn’t have much time and heavy flash sites required a lot of money to download on a modem connection. What’s more I didn’t have much feedback. As like nobody cared. But later I found out that they did care…
Several times during that period I had to stop posting and close the site. If only I got the concept of modern blogs… If only there was RSS widespread at that time… But blogs and RSS became popular only when I gave up and stopped posting at all.
I remember I saw TheFWA growing. I bet my site was at least as popular as Rob’s, but where is TheFWA and where’s me right now…
And now googling my nickname you still can find posts on other old blogs about me.
One of the coolest Flash blogs disappeared because of lack of feedback a while back – and is back now: valyard|ru
Lets try to keep Valyard inspired, the work he does is so good for showing the united creativity of the Flash community – we can’t afford to loose him again :-) February 22, 2003 on jdb
I’m happy to hear that valyard is back with a new site. As you might remember he has a great talent for finding those special sites that make your jaw drop. Welcome home! February 17, 2003 on Quasimondo
So, the site that went down to much dismay of the Flash community is coming back. The site used to sport many interesting sites, cool design sites, useful ones and entertaining ones. Valyard was down for quite sometime and it is making a come back soon, it says 2 days in its countdown. February 15, 2003 on Brajeshwar
I wish I could go back to year 2000…
And what’s about you, do you remember the old valyard|ru back then?
