A Little about Blogger.Com

Blogger is a blog-publishing service which was created by Pyra Labs in 1999 and then acquired by Google in 2003. It provide users an option of creating their own blogs for free but under blogspot.com as a sub-domain (Ex: myblog.blogspot.com).

The story behind Blogger.com



Blogger.com was started by Pyra Labs, a tiny company in San Francisco in the year 1999 (August 23) at the time of the dot-com boom. Three friends used to fund the amount they get by working on the web projects for big companies for the development of Blogger.

By the time passing away, Blogger has gained good popularity which made Google to acquire Blogger under undisclosed terms in February 2003. This acquisition made all the premium options to become free of cost. Google, in the year 2004 purchased Picasa and integrated its photo sharing utility "Hello" into Blogger, allowing users to upload photos to their blogs.

Blogger have undergone many changes till December 2006 and by May 2007, it was completely moved over to Google operated servers.

In the year 2007, Blogger came up with a very wise decision of supporting a custom domain for serving the blog. This allowed users to host their purchased domain (either through blogger or directly) on blogger platform with a free space of 1GB.

Ex: If you already have a domain named, say, myblog.com and want your free blog "myblog.blogspot.com" to be served at that address instead of at a blogspot.com address, then blogger can host that domain for free without no loss of traffic and rank juice.

And another big change in the year 2011 was the limit on the uploaded images have been increased, letting users to upload unlimited number of images into blogger (which are hosted in Picasa).

Started with low investment but with utmost dedication, Blogger.com has now been liked by millions of users.

A big hail to the Blogger Team.
