History
With the advent of unicode when typing in Indian languages on computer became possible, blogs in Indian languages started to be written.
Initially due to non-availability of Indic typing tools or due to non-awareness of such tools Indian blogosphere was small. Later on, due to spread of awareness in this regard and due to development and availability of Indic typing tools, number of Indian blogs started growing rapidly.[2]
Indic language typing tools
Although the standard keyboard of Indian languages is InScript yet Phonetic transliteration based typing became most popular for Unicode Indic typing in spite of its drawbacks. The two most popular phonetic typing tools of old times are "Indic IME" and "BarahaIME". In 2007, with the advent of Google Indic Transliteration tool in its blogging service Blogger, it became the tool of choice for new bloggers because it is based on dictionary and does not need a learning curve.
Blog platform
India has over 20 official languages and yet most Indian blogs are still written in English. These blogs are written as stand-alone blogs or on popular blogging platforms. Among Indian blogs written in languages other than English, Google's Blogger is most popular among Indian bloggers. It is because it supports Indic Unicode and has rich features. In 2007, Indic language typing tool Google Indic Transliteration was also integrated in it, no need of separate Indic typing tool was left.
In addition to this, WordPress being supporting Indic Unicode, is most popular among those who host their blog on their own domain.
