History

On March 23, 2004, due to an article in The Revealer,^[1] the Mormon blogging community noticed that the Jewish and Catholic blogging communities had adopted names for themselves. In a blog post titled "The Nameless Mormon Blogosphere",^[2] the writer Kaimi Wenger at the LDS blog Times and Seasons sought to remedy this situation and asked for suggestions for a name. Christopher Bradford posting under the name "Grasshopper" suggested "Bloggernacle Choir", the shortened version of which gained wide approval. "Bloggernacle" is a term that has been used commonly by LDS bloggers.
During 2005, several LDS-themed podcasts entered the Bloggernacle to augment LDS blogging with audio programming.
