What are blogs?
The word blog is gotten from the word "weblog"an online diary usually updated daily, weekly or as occasion demands.when you update web logs the latest article will appear at the top while the older article will slide down a little.that is a blog. Its just like a book were you write different articles everyday but the time you are publishing the article online
Different between website and blogs?
Websites and blogs are almost the same with few key differences. Which i will tell you
1. Blogs are updated with fresh document or articles almost everyday but websites are hardly updated. They have a static page with some few key pages.
2. Blogs are very good for search engine rankings:blogs get more attention from search engine than websites because websites are static but blogs are updated and search engine loves and depends on articles.
3. Comments functionality; Traditional websites lacks comments functionalities but blogs are built with communication and relationship in mind. You can go to a blog , read and write to the owners of the article what you felt about the contents on the blog. And the author can as well communicate back to you. But traditional website lacks that function.what you see is what you get (WYSIWUG)
I can continue telling reasons why blogs are more important than websites but because of space and time i will give you one more
4. Blogs are easy to manage; if you know how to send and receive mail then you can blog. Email and blogs have almost the same layout. Simply write your title and your post or contents and then send or publish. But websites are difficult to manage. You need to go learn php, java script and html codes which makes it very technical for an ordinary fellow.
5. I advice you to build blogs instead of websites "blogs can do everything a typical websites can will do but i doubt if websites can do all blogs can do"
So let our business build its web presence and start making more profit.if you want to build blogs, you can go with either blogger or word-press but i suggest you use blogger because of all its flexibility. We shall talk about this in details.
