Today I wanted to do something a bit different, I wanted to talk about the history of blogging. I want to reveal when it was started, by who and maybe even why. Hopefully through that we can learn some old school blogging tips that will still work for us today!

Lets begin…

After doing some research it appears Jonathan Dube started the first news blog while he was working for The Charlotte Observer when he talked about the hurricane called bonnie.

Since then blogging has obviously grown at an amazing rate and since December of 2007 Technorati was tracking over 112 million blogs! A number that has been demolished since because a new blog is created every few seconds it seems like.

We are seeing growth of blogs like never before and thats why starting now is key. Eventually blogging will become a thing of the past for large scale and something else will take over.

However the people the get established now as bloggers should continue to dominate and do well even when the hiatus hits which could be any time now because of the growth we have seen.

With all that said it tells me one thing about blogging…

Start Now! If you wait you could lose out on the opportunity completely. To ensure that doesn’t happen at the very least start a wordpress or blogger blog today and post once a week about your favorite hobby.
