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 set to be closed on January 31, 2018[1].

look I get that archival is hard and a lot of things arguably aren't "worth" saving and archivists can be a very grumpy bunch.

BUT MAYBE WE'D BE A BIT LESS GRUMPY IF EVERYONE WASN'T ACTING LIKE THEY'RE IN A CONTEST TO LOSE AS MUCH SHIT AS POSSIBLE

Current status

Users can export the content and images of their blogs until 2018-02-28[2].

Currently[when?], there are 7752304 blogs in the catalogue. (The numbers on the catalogue page are completely unreliable.)

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.
