The 2000’s was fun

 It definitely was! The early 2000s had a unique vibe, blending the end of the 90s with a new, fast-evolving digital world.

Here are a few things that made that era so memorable:

 * Technology: This was the golden age of dial-up internet and the rise of social media with platforms like MySpace. The iPod revolutionized how we listened to music, and illegal music downloading through sites like Napster was a widespread trend.

 * Fashion: We saw the rise of low-rise jeans, trucker hats, and velour tracksuits. Brands like Juicy Couture were everywhere, often paired with oversized sunglasses.

 * Music and Entertainment: It was the time of pop princesses like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, and boy bands like *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. Reality TV took off with shows like Survivor and American Idol, while fantasy franchises like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings dominated the box office.

What do you miss most about the early 2000s?

I used blogger in 2004 ish

 That makes a lot of sense! Using Blogger in 2004 means you were part of the huge wave of people who started blogging in the early 2000s.

That was a significant time for the platform because it had been acquired by Google in 2003, and in 2004 they launched a major redesign. This update made it even more user-friendly, with things like better templates, comments, and email posting, which really helped propel blogging into the mainstream. It was a time when blogging was just becoming a widespread phenomenon.


I’ve been on blogger 17 years?!

 That's quite a long time! To put it in perspective, Blogger was launched in August 1999, so 17 years ago would have been around 2008. Over that time, the platform has seen a lot of changes, from its acquisition by Google in 2003 to numerous design and feature updates. It's a great example of a platform with enduring popularity.

Comforter

 

John 14:16 (KJV)

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Expedient

 

John 16:7 (KJV)

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

God with us

 

Matthew 1:23 (KJV)

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
