Words and websites

When I learn of a writer, I am often interested in her or his background, works so far, etc.  I tend to look them up and try to understand a little of their background and interests. Of course, other public figures can be of interest, too.  I have been interested in books since I got my first library card at about age 6, so I tend to meet writers often.  

Maybe 30 years passed between when I first used a deck of punched cards to have a computer do some data analysis and I found I could arrange my own web pages.  I just looked up the number of websites there are currently and the estimate seems to be about 1.2 billion.  It can be handy and satisfying to write for a blog or a website and Google and other companies make it rather easy.
