First Posts From The Best In the Blogosphere

As I am just staring off my blogging career very late in the game I look to the other established and successful blogs for inspiration and help. I thought it would be a good idea to see how some of these famous blogs got their start by looking at their first post. Although most probably aren’t their true first post, here are the first post of each from these blogs. They are in no specific order except other than how they appear in my bookmarks.
