The blogger must be able to handle technical skills so that his blog can have all the features that we see in famous blogs nowadays.

I think its crazy the way blogging has really taken over, and it certainly has already becoming a normal thing in society and how we get our information (and, who carries influence etc.) Very interesting indeed!

They had posts and comments (although comments _were_ posts), and were generally organized in reverse chronological order. BBSs were even closer: many of them had posts by the BBS owner and separate comments by the subscribers. If I were explaining a blog to a computer enthusiast from 1985, I'd say it's a BBS with a linked graphical interface and no need for modems. The idea of blogging has been around as long as computers have been networked, so to find the "first blogs", you'd have to go back to the early 1980s at the very latest, and possibly back to the early 1970s, when the ancestors of "netnews" came out.
