Blogger is a web-based service for creating and managing blogs, launched by Pyra Labs in August 1999 and subsequently acquired by Google[1] in February 2003. The platform has seen several redesigns and feature updates over the years, including a significant shift to Google servers in 2007. Blogger offers a variety of customizable templates, utilizes technologies like AJAX, HTML5, and CSS3 for efficient loading, and provides a testing environment called ‘Blogger in Draft’. It supports more than 60 languages, enhancing its accessibility to a global user base. In addition to a default Blogspot.com address, it also provides country-specific URLs. Although blocked in some countries, Blogger offers support through various forums monitored by Google staff and product experts.

Blogger is an American online content management system founded in 1999 which enables its users to write blogs with time-stamped entries. Pyra Labs developed it before being acquired by Google in 2003. Google hosts the blogs, which can be accessed through a subdomain of blogspot.com. Blogs can also be accessed from a user-owned custom domain (such as www.example.com) by using DNS facilities to direct a domain to Google's servers. A user can have up to 100 blogs or websites per account.
