History[]

The Wubblog's first year, 2005, mostly told about the development of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!. It began with the main characters from the unpublished comic where it started from, The Tail of Flopsy, Mopsy, and Ted, being renamed Wubby, Widget and Walden due to legal reasons. During that year, there were numerous posts about people, artists, locations, etc.; and sketches, storyboards, character designs, etc. for the making of the show titled Wow! Wow! Wubby!, In July 2005, Wubby later officially became Wubbzy and the show was officially titled Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!.

In 2006, several of the posts were about the revealed characters and backgrounds' final designs, and most of the posts contained pictures and downloadable clips from the show. Bob Boyle stepped down from regular editing that year, transferring duties over to two editors. On August 27, one day before the Nickelodeon premiere of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Fred Seibert made a big post thanking people who helped make the show happen.

In 2007, there were more posts that included the show's pictures and clips, as well as some of both the newly released and upcoming Wubbzy merchandise, an announcement for season 2, the Licensing Show, etc. The blog went on a hiatus between June and October, the first in its run.

In 2008, some of the posts presented more released and upcoming Wubbzy merchandise (though some upcoming ones weren't known to be released), and others were about the releases of the new official Wubbzy party supplies; upcoming second season, and one about Bob Boyle winning his first Emmy Award for Individual Achievement in Animation.

Later in the year, the blog pivoted to chronicling fan content as posting activity increased. The Wubblog now featured homemade Wubbzy art, cakes, Halloween costumes, kids' birthday parties among other crafts. The blog also launched an associated YouTube channel, where it documented an event featuring a real life Wubbzy mascot, and videos of children playing with the mascot. The Wubblog also launched a dance contest, where children could have their dance videos posted on YouTube and win prizes, including a chance to have that dance featured on an upcoming Wubbzy DVD's bonus feature. The latter prize never came to fruition.

In 2009, there were more birthdays with Wubbzy cakes for kids, new Wubbzy merchandise, videos of kids dancing, and other Wubbzy creations featured. March had a post about Wubbzy promoting World Autism Awareness Day, April had posts about the arrival of Wubb Idol and The Wubb Girlz, and May had one about a new Wubbzy app on the iPhone and iTouch. Afterwards, the website went on a seven-month hiatus.

In 2010, the Wubblog's final year, only five posts were published to the site. In March, the blog announced the release of Bob Boyle's new book, Hugo and the Really, Really, Really Long String. Four months later in July, the blog featured its final two posts. The penultimate post featured a Wubbzy cake, and the final post was of a cookie that looks like Wubbzy.
