Initially due to difficulties involved in Hindi typing very few people wrote in Hindi but later on due to availability of Hindi typing tools, number of Hindi bloggers started growing gradually.

In 2007. number of Hindi blogs increased rapidly. It was due to advent of Indic Unicode support in various blogging services, advent of new Hindi typing tools e.g. Google Indic Transliteration tool in blogger and promotion of Hindi blogging in media.
