BLOG is owned by Rick Horowitz. IBLOG is reserved and not yet fully registered to a vehicle, much like your BLOGS plate. BLOGGER is owned by Joel Slovacek.

When Joel realized that "Blogger" was available last year, he snagged it and offered it to Ev, then to the rest of us on the Blogger team. We all passed, and the rest is history.

My name is Phillip Coleman and I am collecting License Plates and I want to know when California would have NEW design license plate. I am TIRED of same bored California license plate. I want to know if they will make new license plate with design like Arizona beautiful Desert/saguaro, New Mexico Hot baloone, Nevada golden mountain, I meant NOT included Yosemite or Ocean Scenic or others because of fund or booster. I meant ALL passenagers could have new design license plates like back in 1983 Golden Sunset. Please let me know about it as I can find in internet about new design Calif license plates in the future. Thank you, Phillip
