Blogger is a blog publishing system. It was created by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Although its website is www.blogger.com, the blogs it hosts are all subdomains of blogspot.com. As part of the Blogger redesign in 2006, all blogs associated with a user's Google Account were migrated to Google servers. Blogger claims that the service is now more reliable because of the quality of the servers. Along with the migration to Google servers, several new features were introduced, including label organization, 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. The Google Toolbar has a feature called "BlogThis!" which allows toolbar users

Furthermore, blogs are updated dynamically, as opposed to rewriting HTML files. The Google Toolbar has a feature called "BlogThis!" which allows toolbar users with Blogger accounts to post links directly to their blogs. "Blogger for Word" is a free add-in for Microsoft Word. This add-in allows users to save a Microsoft Word Document directly to a Blogger blog, as well as edit their posts both on- and offline. Blogger offers multiple author support, making it possible to establish group blogs. Blogger offers a template editing feature, which allows users to customize the Blogger template. Teachers would be interested in this technology because it is free and easy to sign up. Blogger.com could be used to create a class webpage and and online learning community.
