Wiki on Blogger
Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows private or multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was created by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Generally, the blogs are hosted by Google at a subdomain
of blogspot.com. Up until May 1, 2010 Blogger allowed users to publish
blogs on other hosts, via FTP. All such blogs had (or still have) to be
moved to Google's own servers, with domains other than blogspot.com
allowed via custom URLs
On August 23, 1999, Blogger was launched by Pyra Labs. As one of the earliest dedicated blog-publishing tools, it is credited for helping popularize the format. In February 2003, Pyra Labs was acquired by Google
under undisclosed terms. The acquisition allowed premium features (for
which Pyra had charged) to become free. In October 2004, Pyra Labs'
co-founder, Evan Williams, left Google. In 2004, Google purchased Picasa; it integrated Picasa and its photo sharing utility Hello into Blogger, allowing users to post photos to their blogs.
On May 9, 2004, Blogger introduced a major redesign, adding features such as web standards-compliant templates, individual archive pages for posts, comments, and posting by email. On August 14, 2006, Blogger launched its latest version in beta,
codenamed "Invader", alongside the gold release. This migrated users to
Google servers and had some new features, including interface language
in French, Italian, German and Spanish.[4]
In December 2006, this new version of Blogger was taken out of beta. By
May 2007, Blogger had completely moved over to Google operated servers.
Blogger was ranked 16 on the list of top 50 domains in terms of number
of unique visitors in 2007
