The Grouth Of Blogger

When I was searching a template for my new blog, came across with this exciting article about the evolution of Blogger from 1999 to 2009. Blogger created hundreds of thousands of bloggers in this world and it is the beginner's platform for blogging. It has always been one of the greatest (if not the best) Free Blogging platforms available on net with so many features like unlimited bandwidth, lot of templates, multi image uploading,etc.

Its always nice and interesting to know how Blogger looks like in the past. So, in this post, we attempt to bring you back in time to look at how blogger look like in the past and then scan through it's history with images.

Blogger was created by Pyra Labs and was launched on August 23, 1999. It was one of the earliest blog publishing tools and it is credited for helping popularize the format.
