Creating a Blog Section

Hi Wikipedians - I am wondering what everyone thinks of the Creating a Blog section. It seems like an advertisement to me. There are numerous other options in the marketplace but I think focusing on the history of the main players may be a better approach in the ORIGINS section of the page. What does everyone else think?

Want to add a mention of first warblog

For the sake of history, I'd like to add a mention of the first known warblog that I have found, which I made public on the Internet at the same time as the 6 June 1996 website launch of www.birzeit.edu [1]. It had been written and coded since November 1995, but was not available online internationally until 6 June 1996. The Internet Archive Wayback Machine didn't pick up the blog for another four months, on the same day it picked up the main university website, 22 October 1996.

At that time it was located in a privately maintained subdirectory off Birzeit University's main website at birzeit.edu/diary/. LOL, can you imagine a university allowing that these days?

Here's a link to the blog homepage "A Personal Diary of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict", from the Internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/19961022110437/http://www.birzeit.edu/diary/

Here's a link to the *dated* diary entries from the Internet archive at the time of the first Internet Archive capture: https://web.archive.org/web/19961022075829/http://www.birzeit.edu/diary/index2.html

Here's a link to the *dated* diary entries as of 1999 (pretty much the end of the warblog) from the Internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/19991128043733/http://www.birzeit.edu/diary/index2.html

[1] Referenced on the university homepage at: https://web.archive.org/web/19961022073730/http://www.birzeit.edu/index.html

Anyway....

Introduction is out of date

The introduction gives numbers of blogs overall and on different platforms, but the sources are from 2011; this should be updated with more recent information. - 73.195.249.93 (talk) 05:06, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MORE RECENT DATA NEEDED TO BE ADDED TO THE POPULARITY SECTION TO MAKE IT FRESH AND UP TO DATE

Hi, I appreciate all of your efforts. I'd suggest that we should add more recent data of the most popular blogs right now and not the most popular then. We have the Chinese blog to a very popular one then. Now we have blogs that are 10x more popular than it. I don't know if my suggestion is good. NYtimes, Forbes, Washingtonpost, Webmed are very popular today. I think adding more info to the existing one would help. I tried to edit the post but was locked.

Semi-protected edit request on 6 June 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I have raised a point about this on the talk page. I want to update the popularity section to fit the current trend of very popular blogs right now. Nwangene Franklin (talk) 10:26, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 13:48, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
