Is Blogspot Is Still A Thing In 2026? Yes. Some people still do blogging in personal leve. In fact, for me i still do blogging everyday but not for the commercial aspect of for the professional aspect. All because I love to write to tell stories about what happened around me in a Blogspot blog.

As a normal person and as a normal technology user I personally started blogging back on year 2006 while Blogspot platform was so popular. It was 20 years ago. I am now in 45 years of age.

Back then I was a web building enthusiast and love to build websites for fun. Back on year 2006 there a not so many web design technology available like today in 2026.

If you read my Blogspot profile, I started my Blogspot journey back on March 2007. I started this account because I forgot the password of my original Blogspot account.

Are Blogs Still Popular In 2026?

From my observation and findings, yes blogs are still popular in 2026 as an online tool to deliver information to other people publicly on the internet outside the social media realm.

According to online report publised by BlogHerald.com, they said "There are now over 600 million blogs worldwide representing approximately 31.6% of all 1.9 billion websites on the internet".

As in May 2026, people use social media such as TikTok video, Thread posts and Facebook posts to talk about something and to share stories from their own personal perspective but all of that are inside social media platfrom.

Modern search engine just like Google is now crawling social media contents such as short videos, texts, images, photos and illustration to deliver relevance answers to search engine users.

Why I Choose Blogspot Blog In 2026

You must be wondering why I choose to write a blog in Blogspot blog? Why not use more advanced blogging tool out ther such as WordPress?

All because Blogspot blog is 100 free for Google users like me. Blogspot blog is provided by Google and tied to Google ID which is basically your google Gmail address.

Blogspot blogging platform does not has subscription based features or hosting size limit just like WordPress.com which is the free blogging tool by WordPress organization.

For me, I love Blogspot because it is straight forward, no ads or any advertisement for the user telling them to upgrade their usage package and the interface is really simple.

Why People Do Blogging In 2026

In 2026, telling stories in a view in your Tik Tok is far more easier then typing words in a blog. New generation nowadays does not really now what a blog look like.

But, they know TikTok.com, YouTube and Facebook because they grew up with it.

For me, I am getting old with them all. I started using Twitter and Facebook in December 2007.
