From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The word Blogger has two meanings. It's either a Web-based tool to publish to the Web or a person who publishes on a weblog. In both cases the word is derived from the slang word blog.
Web-based tool
The tool Blogger is a service to make webblog publishing easier. The user does not have to write any code or to worry about installing server software or scripts. But nevertheless the user can influence the design of his blog freely.
More specifically, instead of hand-coding posts in HTML and frequently uploading new posts, the user can make posts to the weblog by submitting a form on the Blogger web site. This is possible with any Web browser and the results immediately show up on the site.
Blogger was started by Pyra. In 2002 the search engine Google acquired the Blogger service from Pyra. Formerly premium features that needed to be paid for, were made available for free by Google.
Person
A person who publishes on a weblog is often referenced to as a blogger.
