History

Weblogs have existed for close to two decades. However, it wasn't until the second half of the 1990s that weblogs began to grow in popularity.In 1998, there were just a handful of sites of the type that are now identified as weblogs (so named by Jorn Barger in December 1997).In 1999, there were 23 known weblogs, and Pitas, the first free build your own weblog tool, was launched. Also in 1999 weblogs changed from a mix of links, commentary, and thoughts, to short form journal entries.An early recorded use of the term "edublog" can be traced to a webring called the Edublog WebRing, founded on January 30, 2002. The new use of weblogs are largely interest driven and attract readers who have similar interests.In 2004, there were an estimated 3 million blogs and as of July 2011, there are an estimated 164 million blogs.

The Edublog Awards, the international and community based awards programme for the use of blogs and social media to support education, runs annually online across a range of platforms. The Awards were founded by James N. Farmer in 2004.
