Blog Demographics
This article should include the general demographics of the blogging population - 30% USA, 6.7% UK, 53% aged 21-35, and balanced between male/female. This is based on a study by Sysomos based on analysis of 100 million blog posts. Further coverage at ReadWriteWeb and CBS News.

Misleading or unverified information
The statement:

Examples of these include Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and, by far the largest, WeiBo.

Has no source that states WeiBo is the largest microblogging platform. Moreover, I'm not sure that it is the largest (i.e. larger than Facebook or Twitter) and if so, that it is "by far the largest".

Deletion of the page ब्लॉग [blog in Hindi language] for it being considered duplicate
Dear madams/ sirs, This article ब्लॉग in हिन्दी (Hindi) was created by me but has been deleted. While creating the article, I searched for the title and got this information. You may create the page "ब्लॉग", but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered. So, this title was available for creation of a wiki page. In fact, some people have created pages चिट्ठा, हिन्दी चिट्ठाजगत and चिट्ठाजगत (meaning blog, Hindi blogosphere and blogosphere)dubiously, with entries to promote their own websites and with wrong information and sub-standard links and broken links. I contacted the group behind these article but found that they had personal interest in keeping the pages that way. My idea was to create a new, unbiased, article on the subject for Hindi readers. In fact, the information that I had put in the blog was all unbiased and useful. I am the writer of "the Manual of Blogging", an Amazon book, but I never linked that with the page. You could consider revision of your decision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manojpandeyindia (talk • contribs) 02:14, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

No multi-author blogs until 2010? Really?
The section on MABs seems made up. Clearly there have been multi-author blogs for over two decades, and there are no citations to support these sentences. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.90.243.155 (talk) 09:10, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Introduction is out of date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)

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nwangene Franklin (talk • contribs) 10:22, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

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?

" Bloglines (defunct), BlogScope (defunct), and Technorati (defunct)" Yes, blogging changed with Facebook and YouTube.

Can you add this link as a citation?

The information I used and you should add to the article. Here it is: '''In 1994, Swarthmore College student Justin Hall was credited with this creation of the first blog, but as a personal homepage. Weblog or journal in early times were which someone could share information or their thoughts on a variety of topics. So, a blog post is an individual personal web page on others website that dives deeper into a particular sub-topic or genre of their blog. Blogs are typically a section of an business's website that requires updating, while a website is a collection of web pages and related content. A lifestyle blog is a technological compilation of each author's personal interests, daily activities or wants, or opinions on some subjects, which covers or features multiple hobbies or talents than single topic and also highly personalized. Blogs are used for help company rank in search engines, share information about a given topic, attract visitors on website, and cultivate an online community and engage with an audience. Anyone can start blogs with choosing target audience as first.''' 2601:205:C001:EA0:3CE8:4080:244E:8775 (talk) 04:40, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Statistics woefully out of date
I was just looking at the stats at the end of the first section, which includes the statement "Blogger is the most popular blogging service used today." First, at the end of 2022, that surely cannot be the case? (The stats cited are from 2010 and 2014.) But it also seems like a statement that could only be true at a point in time, but is stated as "today". I think I'm going to go and see if I can find better stats, but turn today into a statement as of 2010 and 2014 as a starting point. Njradcliffe (talk) 08:54, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The line between blogs and websites has been blurred as Wordpress has become the new Dreamweaver for web developers in that they can rapidly build a new websites with it. There are also some e-commerce add-ons that enable a site to trade. This makes distinguishing a blog from a working website more difficult. The only reliable estimate might be the number of sites built with Wordpress if the people running the survey are competent. A .BLOG gTLD was launched as part of the 2012 round of new gTLDs by ICANN. It is getting some usage. I'd be very wary of including the stuff from W3Techs as it isn't a large enough sample of websites. If there are any stats from Google, it might be worth including them. However, many blogs rarely get beyond the hello world post. Jmccormac (talk) 18:37, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. But the stats are still crazily outdated and very implausible for today. We could just take the stats out, since they're so out-of-date, I suppose. Or find more plausible/reputable sources. https://bloggingwizard.com/blogging-statistics/ has some interesting-looking stats, and cites at least some of its sources, e.g. Statista. I'll do a bit more digging. Sure feels like there's a lot of Wordpress out there, and a lot of activity on Medium; Blogger not so much.
 * Njradcliffe (talk) 19:26, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * That's a terrifying mix of figures drawn together to make a post. There is very little reliable data on the actual number of blogs. Blogs on a subdomain are more difficult to measure than blogs on their own distinct domain name. The figures from Wordpress would be more reliable but it gets down to how the WP software is being used. Most new WP sites may not be blogs but rather small business sites. Adding DIY website builders like Bloggingwizard did is wrong. There are other DIY site builders and many large registrars and hosters have their own site builder software. These are aimed at SMEs rather than bloggers. These registrars/hosters also have Wordpress available as installable software.The .BLOG gTLD has about 197K registrations but not all of them are active or developed into working blogs. Jmccormac (talk) 19:53, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Shall we just delete the stats then? They're 8-9 years out of date, and there doesn't seem any more reason to trust them than any contemporary ones we can find.
 * Njradcliffe (talk) 21:38, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Rephrasing them as historical stats might also work. That way, if some new reliable stats emerge, there's a reference so that people can see if there is a growth or decline in blogs. Jmccormac (talk) 21:50, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
