Noggin.com

Noggin.com is a website based on the Noggin brand. It was first launched in 1999 as an online hub for Noggin's shows, mainly aimed at older kids and tweens at the time. It originally included a live chatting system, many different games, and pages for each Noggin show. In 2002, the site was reformatted for preschoolers, and the chatting system was moved to a new website based on Noggin's teen block, The N.
The dot of Noggin.com is also the main residence of Phred in the series Phred on Your Head Show and The URL with Phred Show. The website was a major aspect of many other series, such as A Walk in Your Shoes and On the Team, which both allowed viewers to submit questions online and see them answered on TV.
Since 2015, the site has been revamped as a guide to the Noggin app. It no longer includes any games, videos, or interactive elements.
==History==
Throughout its history, the site has had five major upgrades. The first was "Noggin.com V2," a refresh of the website that occurred in 2000. This upgrade added many new games, some of which introduced characters and elements that were used in The URL with Phred Show.
The second upgrade happened in April 2002, when the Noggin channel introduced a retooled daytime block for preschoolers and a nighttime block, The N, for tweens and teens. The Noggin site was completely redesigned to match the preschool daytime block. The color scheme was light green, and visitors could click on square icons of each show to play games based on them. There was a video player on the left side of the homepage.
The third upgrade happened a year later in April 2003. The daytime block introduced new hosts, Moose and Zee, and the site was revamped to match the new on-air look. The site's color scheme was a dark pink shade, and Moose appeared on icons throughout the pages. Some of the games and features from the 2002 site were carried over, mainly from Oobi and Play with Me Sesame. This version of the site lasted until September 28, 2009, when the site was temporarily closed. However, the website remained up for a few minutes after 6AM that day, but most pages either redirected to pages on the new Nick Jr. website, or were blank pages with a copyright notice.https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/thewaysofthebluedog/nick-jr-network-officially-launches-t973.html After a while, a video of the Moose and Zee "Today on Nick Jr." song played, leading to the new Nick Jr. website.
The fourth upgrade was in March 2015. The site was reopened as a guide to the Noggin app. The app-themed site included a list of shows on the app, a FAQ section, and a blog for news related to the app. This version of the site was aimed more at parents than kids, and no games/videos were included.
The fifth upgrade was in mid-2019. The Noggin app changed its logo and overall layout, and the site was changed to match.
