About The Blog Herald
More blog news, more often.
A publication covering the world of blogging.
Blog Herald is an independent publication focused on blogging and digital publishing. Since 2003, we have covered the platforms, tools, and ideas that shape how blogs are created, discovered, and sustained online.
What began as a resource for bloggers has grown alongside the blogosphere itself, following changes in publishing technology, search visibility, and online media.
Blog Herald was founded by Duncan Riley in March 2003 as a site dedicated to blogging-related news.
In the early years, blogging moved fast. RSS feeds powered subscriptions, services like Technorati helped readers find and follow blogs, and platforms like Movable Type and WordPress shaped how publishing worked on the open web.
Blog Herald existed to track that world with news, commentary, and practical insights about blogging itself.
In October 2024, Blog Herald was acquired by Brown Brothers Media, a digital publishing group behind personality growth-focused and creativity-driven brands visited by millions each month.
