Two Years Into the Journey

Two years ago, on January 7, 2002, I began this blog with the following text:

OK. This is the first time I've done this. I thought is was a good idea, based on what I've read elsewhere. I am so new to web-building and web publishing, and I am so happy that a forum exists for me to type what's going on inside my mind.

Question: Is it possible to identify how many websites are actually available on the Web?

Last year it took an extra day for me to remember that I'd had a blog birthday. I also included a link to the 1st Year in Review. I have yet to do the same thing for 2003; I did a 1st Half Retrospective, however.
