When a blog is not a blog

Blog, what the heck is it and what is it good for.

First a bit of history. The term blog started out to designate a type of website that was a personal journal. Each posting to the website was an entry in that journal.

This was a leap forward for people wishing to have an outlet on the Internet. Blogging sites were easier to setup and add content to, than traditional websites. Blogging remains very popular today.

What does a blog have to do with a business website? A blog does not have to be named a blog. OK, so this is just double talk, right? Stay with me, this will all makes perfect sense.

A blog creates a system for arranging the post, or entries to the blog. In fact, a blog also uses a system for sorting the entries by the category you assign to each entry. The category can be used to search for, or list, various entries or posts to the blog.

If we create a website for your business and add a blog, but instead of calling the area that lists the entries to the site a blog, we call that section “News” or “Tips” or “Testimonials” or any other name you like. Then, as a news item or a new testimonial is is added to the site, the entries are displayed in order down the page. In addition, we can configure specific pages on your site to hold just one type of entry or post. So you could have a page of news items as well as a page of testimonials on the site.

We can train you, or a staff member, how to add these types of entries to the site. You can then have a website that stay up to date and interesting for visitors and keeps them coming back for more.
