First!
I'm going to try, in abject futility, to embed a swf movie in my site. Try as I might, I never seem to be able to do it correctly so I'll probably screw it up too this time.
Anyway, if you read a lot of high volume blogs, you'll probably see tons of these. I'm not hip enough to get it, and I find "First" posts pretty (totally) lame. I'm not sure where it started or why it continues, but there are many people that do it. Or o I thought. Apparently, according to this video, it's not as many people as I would have guessed.
If you aren't familiar with this phenomenon, head over to a site like Perez Hilton and you'll see first posts well into the 50's.
Let's hope that with enough mockery, this ultra lame trend comes to an end.
