History of Blogger Day
Blogging started with several digital precursors to it. Before it became popular, digital communities took many forms. In the 1990s, WebEx and other Internet forum software created running conversations with ‘threads.’ Blogger, an American online content management system, was established by Pyra Labs on August 23, 1999, after which it was acquired by Google in 2003. Google hosts the blogs and they are accessed through a subdomain of blogspot.com. Users can also have their custom domain (such as www.example.com) by using D.N.S. facilities to direct a domain to Google’s servers. Up to 100 blogs or websites per account are allowed.
Blogger is one of the first dedicated blog-publishing tools. After Pyra Labs was purchased by Google in February 2003, originally premium features of Blogger were made free. The following year, in 2004, Google acquired Picasa and its photo-sharing service, Hello. It was then incorporated into Blogger to enable users to upload images to their blogs.
In 2004, Blogger underwent a major redesign which included web standards-compliant templates, individual archive pages for posts, comments, and email posting. This new version, called “Invader,” was released in beta alongside the gold version in 2006. Users were then moved to Google servers and by May 2007, Blogger had completely moved over to Google-operated servers.
In 2015, Blogger announced that it would no longer allow its users to post explicit content unless they offered “substantial public benefit,” such as in “artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts.” Just four days later on February 28, 2015, due to severe backlash from long-term bloggers, Blogger reversed its decision and went back to the previous policy that allowed explicit images and videos if the blog was marked as “adult.”
