Ancient bloggers
edit- Anand Lal Shimpi was probably blogging on his website in 1997, before the term was coined. I know it because I used to read it in that timeframe. I think that motherboards.org was doing it around the same time. I like to saw logs! (talk) 06:59, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
I wrote one of the first blogs. From about 1994 onwards I wrote and maintained a web site called "Ken Johnson's Home on the Web," which was all written in raw HTML and Java Script. It was hosted on blueyonder.co.uk, an internet provider sadly now out of business. I began an on line diary, "My Job Hunting Diary," on the site in about 1996. It was only a couple of years later that I first understood the word 'blog.' 94.174.175.147 (talk) 02:51, 29 January 2017 (UTC) Ken Johnson (kenjohnson195105 @ gmail . com)
I would love to get a better understanding of how John Baez fits into the picture. His This week's finds in mathematical physics was originally distributed on Usenet from 1993, before later evolving into a "blog" as we know it today. At least among mathematicians and physicists, he's often understood to have been one of the world's first proto-bloggers, at least. Tcamps42 (talk) 15:13, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Blogging technology
editThere should be a section on blogging technology, such as RSS, RSS Readers, Atom, and blog websites - only the last one on that list is currently mentioned in this article.--greenrd (talk) 21:35, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Evolution of features
editI don't think the history of blogging is clear at all.
The first blog seems to be a personal homepage with a diary format.
I wish this article clarified the following:
- The first homepage to allow comments.
- The first blogging software for websites, so that authors create and edit each post independently
- The first blogging site. This is different from the first blog. This is an importan move from Web 1.0 to 2.0
- The first blogging site to allow images, videos and so on.
- The first blogging site to allow comments.
