.BLOG Domain Extension

Why choose a .BLOG domain?

The word comes from a truncation: “weblog” — a log kept on the web — clipped to “blog” in the late nineties, very nearly by accident. And the format rests on one rule: newest first. That is the only thing genuinely separating a blog from an ordinary site, and it has a consequence — what you publish today pushes down what you wrote yesterday. Writing to last therefore means thinking about what stays findable afterwards.

The truncation

“Weblog”, then “blog”: a word made by cutting another one. Rare in the root zone, where almost every word is whole.

Newest first

Reverse chronology is the format’s only real rule. Plan categories and an index: without them your best writing sinks out of sight.

The author

Who writes, since when, why this subject. A blog is read for a voice: the about page is not an afterthought.

A dedicated registry

Knock Knock WHOIS There, LLC runs this extension and nothing else. The second such case in the catalogue after the .menu registry.

The newsletter

A list belongs to you; followers on a platform do not. It is what turns passing readers into a readership.

What it actually changes

• The word announces a format, not a subject. That is what separates it from .site: here, you know how the content will be organised.
• It is identical in French. Same spelling, alongside the recommended local form “blogue”.
• No registration restrictions. No existing publication to demonstrate to the registrar.
• It works as an email address too. hello@claire.blog suits correspondence with readers.
