A brief history of blogging
Blogging has been around since 1993—that’s now over two and a half decades.

While there is some debate over who the first blogger was, one man makes a compelling case.

In 1993 Rob Palmer began working for a company in London where he wrote a quarterly afghanistan phone number material for the company and posted it on their website. Considering the World Wide Web was going open source, the company decided to continue this quarterly publication as a free online journal—or what’s now known as a blog.

While Palmer was blogging for this early online company, less than a year later, personal blogging was born by 19-year-old Justin Hall. His blog really only consisted of ramblings and links, but people (and companies) quickly took notice of the potential of this new sharing platform.

While the term “online journal” and “online diaries” can certainly be a mouthful, in 1997 Jorn Barger, an American blogger, coined the term “weblog,” which was quickly shortened to “blog.”

Web developers quickly began to notice that people were becoming interested in blogging—and came up with a solution.

In 1998, Open Diary was born. This platform provided people a place to share their thoughts and ideas while also allowing others to comment. More blogging platforms like LiveJournal, Blogger, Tumblr and Xanga soon emerged.

Then in 2003, blogging changed forever when two college kids developed WordPress, a content management system (CRM) that now powers over two-thirds of the Internet.

In 2007, micro-blogging emerged with the emergence of Twitter and the ideal blog post length at the time was around 300-400 words.
