37-417: Blogger is an American online content management system founded in 1999 that 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

74-554: A drag-and-drop template editing interface, reading permissions (to create private blogs) and new Web feed options. Furthermore, blogs are updated dynamically, as opposed to rewriting HTML files. In a version of the service called Blogger in Draft, new features are tested before being released to all users. New features are discussed in the service's official blog. In September 2009, Google introduced new features into Blogger as part of its tenth-anniversary celebration. The features included

111-414: A content management application (CMA), as the front-end user interface that allows a user, even with limited expertise, to add, modify, and remove content from a website without the intervention of a webmaster ; and a content delivery application (CDA), that compiles the content and updates the website. There are two types of CMS installation: on-premises and cloud-based. On-premises installation means that

148-421: A domain to Google's servers. A user can have up to 100 blogs or websites per account. Blogger enabled users to publish blogs and websites to their own web hosting server via FTP until May 1, 2010. All such blogs and websites had to be redirected to a blogspot.com subdomain or point their own domain to Google's servers via DNS . Pyra Labs launched Blogger on August 23, 1999. It is credited with popularizing

185-414: A guarantee that retired codes will not be reassigned for at least 50 years, and the replacement of RFC 3066 by RFC 4646 for country codes used in language tags in 2006. The previous ISO 3166-1 code for Yugoslavia , YU, was removed by ISO on 23 July 2003, but the yu ccTLD remained in operation. Finally, after a two-year transition to Serbian rs and Montenegrin me ,

222-489: A major redesign on May 9, 2004, which included web standards -compliant templates, individual archive pages for posts, comments, and email posting. Blogger's new version, codenamed "Invader," was released in beta alongside the gold update on August 14, 2006. Users were moved to Google servers, and new features such as interface language in French, Italian, German, and Spanish were added. In December 2006, this new version of Blogger

259-626: A modular level rather than as pages or articles. CCMSs are often used in technical communication, where many publications reuse the same content. Headless CMS , which separates content from its delivery layer, offers greater flexibility in content distribution across various platforms. Based on a survey, the most widely used content management system is WordPress , used by 43.6% of the top 10 million websites as of October 2021. Other commonly used content management systems include Squarespace , Joomla , Shopify , and Wix . Country code top-level domain A country code top-level domain ( ccTLD )

296-521: A new interface for post editing, improved image handling, Raw HTML Conversion, and other Google Docs -based implementations, including: In 2010, Blogger introduced new templates and redesigned its website. The new post editor was criticized for being less reliable than its predecessor. In March 2017, Blogger released new designs like Soho, Contempo, Emporio, Notable, and call them as Theme, not templates. In 2020, Google Blogger slowly introduced an improved web experience for Blogger. They moved everyone to

333-533: A non-alphabetic writing system , such as Latin script (.us, .uk and .br), Indic script (. भारत ) and Korean script (. 한국 ), etc. IDN ccTLDs are an application of the internationalized domain name (IDN) system to top-level Internet domains assigned to countries, including the United Kingdom, or independent geographic regions. ICANN started to accept applications for IDN ccTLDs in November 2009, and installed

370-582: Is an Internet top-level domain generally used or reserved for a country , sovereign state, or dependent territory identified with a country code . All ASCII ccTLD identifiers are two letters long, and all two-letter top-level domains are ccTLDs. In 2018, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) began implementing internationalized country code top-level domains , consisting of language-native characters when displayed in an end-user application. Creation and delegation of ccTLDs

407-1144: Is described in RFC 1591, corresponding to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes. While gTLDs have to obey international regulations, ccTLDs are subjected to requirements that are determined by each country's domain name regulation corporation. With over 150 million domain name registrations as of 2022, ccTLDs make up about 40% of the total domain name industry. Country code extension applications began in 1985. The registered country code extensions in that year included .us (United States), .uk (United Kingdom) and .il (Israel). The registered country code extensions in 1986 included .au (Australia), .de (Germany), .fi (Finland), .fr (France), .is (Iceland), .jp (Japan), .kr (South Korea), .nl (Netherlands) and .se (Sweden). The registered country code extensions in 1987 included .nz (New Zealand), .ch (Switzerland) and .ca (Canada).

Stack Exchange 's Web Applications forum has a tag for "blogger", which is used for questions about various blogging platforms, including Blogger. Content management system A CMS typically has two major components:

481-512: Is not in the business of deciding what is and what is not a country. The selection of the ISO 3166 list as a basis for country code top-level domain names was made with the knowledge that ISO has a procedure for determining which entities should be and should not be on that list. Almost all current ISO 3166-1 codes have been assigned and do exist in DNS. However, some of these are effectively unused. In particular,

518-552: Is responsible for the policies and operation of the domain. The current delegation can be determined from IANA's list of ccTLDs. Individual ccTLDs may have varying requirements and fees for registering subdomains . There may be a local-presence requirement (for instance, citizenship or other connection to the ccTLD), as, for example, the American ( us ), Japanese ( jp ), Canadian ( ca ), French ( fr ) and German ( de ) domains, or registration may be open. The first registered ccTLD

555-645: Is still registered in gb (ISO 3166-1 for the United Kingdom ), and no new registrations are being accepted for it. Sites in the United Kingdom generally use uk (see below). The former .um ccTLD for the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands was removed in April 2008. Under RFC 1591 rules, .um is eligible as a ccTLD on request by the relevant governmental agency and local Internet user community. Several ASCII ccTLDs are in use that are not ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes. Some of these codes were specified in older versions of

592-466: The zr ccTLD was not deleted until 2001. Other ccTLDs corresponding to obsolete ISO 3166-1 codes have not yet been deleted. In some cases they may never be deleted due to the amount of disruption this would cause for a heavily used ccTLD. In particular, the Soviet Union's ccTLD su remains in use more than twenty years after SU was removed from ISO 3166-1. The historical country codes dd for

629-509: The German Democratic Republic and yd for South Yemen were eligible for a ccTLD, but not allocated; see also de and ye . The temporary reassignment of country code cs ( Serbia and Montenegro ) until its split into rs and me ( Serbia and Montenegro , respectively) led to some controversies about the stability of ISO 3166-1 country codes, resulting in a second edition of ISO 3166-1 in 2007 with

666-613: The second-level domain and ccTLD to form one word or one title, creating domains such as blo.gs of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands ( gs ), youtu.be of Belgium ( be ), del.icio.us of the United States ( us ), and cr.yp.to of Tonga ( to ). The .co domain of Colombia has been cited since 2010 as a potential competitor to generic TLDs for commercial use, because it may be an abbreviation for company . Several ccTLDs allow

703-659: The *. section of the URL is exposed to keyword-based Internet filtering. The official support channel is the Blogger Product Forum. This online discussion forum, delivered using Google Groups, serves Blogger users of varying experience, and receives some monitoring from Google staff. "Product Experts," formerly known as "Top contributors," are community-members nominated by the Google staff who enjoy additional privileges including managing discussions and direct access to Google staff. There

740-477: The .yu domain was phased out in March ;2010. Australia was originally assigned the oz country code, which was later changed to au with the .oz domains moved to .oz.au . An internationalized country code top-level domain (IDN ccTLD) is a top-level domain with a specially encoded domain name that is displayed in an end user application, such as a web browser , in its native language script or

777-537: The 1990s, .cn (People's Republic of China) and .ru (Russian Federation) were first registered. There are 308 delegated ccTLDs. The .cn , .tk , .de , .uk , .nl and .ru ccTLDs contain the highest number of domains. The top ten ccTLDs account for more than five-eighths of registered ccTLD domains. There were about 153 million ccTLD domains registered at the end of March 2022. IANA is responsible for determining an appropriate trustee for each ccTLD. Administration and control are then delegated to that trustee, which

814-613: The CMS software can be installed on the server. This approach is usually taken by businesses that want flexibility in their setup. Notable CMSs which can be installed on-premises are Wordpress.org , Drupal , Joomla , Grav , ModX and others. The cloud-based CMS is hosted on the vendor environment. Examples of notable cloud-based CMSs are SquareSpace , Contentful , Wordpress.com , Webflow , Ghost and WIX . The core CMS features are: indexing, search and retrieval, format management, revision control, and management. Features may vary depending on

851-430: The ISO list. ccTLDs may be removed if that country ceases to exist. There are three ccTLDs that have been deleted after the corresponding 2-letter code was withdrawn from ISO 3166-1: cs (for Czechoslovakia ), zr (for Zaire ) and tp (for East Timor ). There may be a significant delay between withdrawal from ISO 3166-1 and deletion from the DNS; for example, ZR ceased to be an ISO 3166-1 code in 1997, but

888-551: The Latin alphabet, using two-character codes. The number was 316 as of June 2020 , with the addition of internationalized domains. Also unofficially used for Cartoon Network -related domains. Was previously used as a free domain service to the public Kazakhstan." Also unofficially used by Canton of Schaffhausen in Switzerland Internationalised domain names have been proposed for Japan and Libya . The IANA

925-409: The United Kingdom. Blogger explained that by doing this they could manage the blog content more locally so if there was any objectionable material that violated a particular country's laws they could remove and block access to that blog for that country through the assigned ccTLD while retaining access through other ccTLD addresses and the default Blogspot.com URL. If a blog using a country-specific URL

962-410: The blog owner has set a default view. Blogger has been blocked for various periods of time in the following countries: Blocking of *.blogspot.com domains by keyword-based Internet filtering systems is also encountered due to the domain containing the substring " gspot "; however, this can be alleviated by excluding the "blogspot.com" section of the URL from the keyword-based Internet filtering whilst

999-610: The ccTLDs for the Norwegian dependency Bouvet Island ( bv ) and the designation Svalbard and Jan Mayen ( sj ) do exist in DNS, but no subdomains have been assigned, and it is Norid policy to not assign any at present. Two French territories— bl ( Saint Barthélemy ) and mf ( Saint Martin )—still await local assignment by France's government. The code eh , although eligible as ccTLD for Western Sahara , has never been assigned and does not exist in DNS . Only one subdomain

1036-636: The first set into the Domain Names System in May 2010. The first set was a group of Arabic names for the countries of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. By May 2010, 21 countries had submitted applications to ICANN, representing 11 languages. ICANN requires all potential international TLDs to use at least one letter that does not resemble a Latin letter, or have at least three letters, in an effort to avoid IDN homograph attacks . Nor shall

1073-610: The format as one of the first dedicated blog-publishing tools. Pyra Labs was purchased by Google in February 2003 for an undisclosed amount. Premium features, which Pyra had actually offered for a fee, were made free as a result of the takeover. Evan Williams , a co-founder of Pyra Labs, left Google in October 2004.

1110-659: The international domain name look like another domain name, even if they have different alphabets. Between Cyrillic and Greek alphabets, for example, this could happen. Generic Country Code Top-Level Domain or gccTLD refers to those TLDs which are technically "non-restricted ccTLDs" but used like traditional generic TLDs ( gTLDs ) rather than "country"-targeted ones. Most of the gccTLDs are primarily used as domain hacks : Lenient registration restrictions on certain ccTLDs have resulted in various domain hacks . Domain names such as I.am , tip.it , start.at and go.to form well-known English phrases, whereas others combine

1147-1319: The new interface starting in late June, many Blogger creators see the new interface become their default.
