For example, scientists share data from one country to another by many people with web blogs. Later the Web blog is known as a Blog. The web is growing extremely fast, and a blog makes it straightforward for users to come online. blogger.com was launched to express the people and the companies online. Google acquired Blogger.com in 2003 for an undisclosed amount of money. After the takeover, the blogger CMS was redesigned in 2004, and Blogger.com premium services became free. So a lot of things are changing collectively and quickly.
WordPress launched on May 27, 2003, which marked a historical day in web history, but later WordPress.org was founded as open-source, which means you can install WordPress into the webserver.
