learn wordpress now – how to blog!

The main difference between a blog and a website is that websites tend to be mainly static whereas blogs change often – either because the blogger adds another post, or because someone visits the blog and leaves a comment.

There’s nothing the matter with static websites if they serve their purpose. But when you do want to update a website you usually have to employ someone to do it for you. And that can be a real pain. Often the website has been carefully designed to follow a set format and future updates must conform to that format. So when you come up with some changes that don’t fit into the format, you can find that you have a major upgrade on your hands, and that can cost both time and money, not to mention aggravation.

If, on the other hand, you choose to have a blog then updates are no problem because you can actually do it yourself. Sure, you can have a number of static pages where all your standard, unchanging stuff appears – but there’s plenty more you can do that will make your blog look a whole lot more appealing than a traditional website.

If, for example, you run a small business, you can use your blog to have static pages about all your regular goods and services, your company background, contact information, terms of trade etc. But you can also use blog posts to announce news such as new products, special offers, new staff appointments – you name it. And when you do want to update your price list, no sweat – just pull up the pages and change them there and then. No wait, no hassle, no webmaster bills.

Blogs are easy to set up, easy to use and can give you a distinctive web presence without having any of the downside of a website.

Why not get blogging? I’ll show you how!
