What is a Blog? — Share

A question that is often asked is what makes a blog different from an ordinary website. Why should you use a blog over and above free web hosting space.

If a web site was a TV, then it would be black'n'white and show only 4 channels. A blog, on the other hand, would be High Definition, fully interactive and on demand programming.

When you publish a new entry it is automatically sent to lots of different search engines and blog aggregators for lots of other people to come and read your output. Naturally, you can restrict certain output to only your friends or family.

You blog automatically makes it easier for people to interact with your content. A large array of automatically generated RSS feeds makes it possible for people to consume your output in many different applications and sites.

Supporting all the latest blogging technologies, you can be assured your blog will consume and be consumed by many wonderful communities and sites.

Reach a whole new readership you would never otherwise have found, without you having to do a single thing, but compose.
