Blogging has been around since 1994, but with most new things, it takes time to trickle down to the masses. The majority of America did not have an e-mail address until the early 2000s, and that address would have been through AOL (America Online). But when WordPress launched a free online content management system in 2003, it made it easier for average people to create a space for themselves on the Internet without having to pay money to have a website developed.

 

Between 2006 and 2014 the Internet was inundated with cocktail-related blogs that are now defunct. There are a few popular cocktail blogs that have recently stopped blogging, but you can peruse their archives. These include cocktailchronicles.com and spiritsandcocktails.wordpress.com
