This is Strong Sad's personal weblog. It originated with the Strong Bad Email website, when you could access it by clicking on the "F10" image at the bottom of Strong Bad's web site. It was on hiatus for 17 months until August 5, 2004, when Strong Sad remembered his password and began posting regularly again.

- For a short while on August 12th, 2004, heading to the front page of Homestar Runner (that is, the "come on in"/"watch intro" page) would instead bring up Strong Sad's blog. It was fixed before long, however. It's not certain if it was an accident or intentional, but given that it blocked all access to the site for a short period of time (without sneaking through the "404'd" pages), it's likely an accident.
- Or was when the aforementioned accidental front-page mix-up occured, and will be again when TBC reupload it to the correct URL. Currently it's in the main directory (www.homestarrunner.com/lydia1.jpg) but it links to it from the Strong Sad Blog folder (www.homestarrunner.com/sadjournal/lydia1.jpg).
