Current status

Blog.pl is one of the first and largest blog platforms in Poland, established in 2001 as an inependent project and later acquired by the mainstream web company Onet.pl in 2006. The site is now set to be closed on January 31, 2018 (info).

Users have a possibility to export the content and images of their blogs before the closing date.

Currently[when?], there are 7752304 blogs in the catalogue.

Site structure

Every blog has its own subdomain under a number of domains, including blog.pl, blog.onet.pl, piszecomysle.pl, and crazylife.pl. There is a catalogue of all blogs registered in the system which is being crawled and parsed to create an item database[by whom and how?]. The catalogue can be refined through categories and tags. However, it does not appear to be possible to discover all blogs through the catalogue as each query is limited to 100 pages of results.

The platform is based on WordPress.
