BLOGS
EXPLAINED
The Basics
Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal
(or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for
general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the
personality of the author or the Web site.
What can you say? Blogs are
everywhere now related to every possible subject that you could
think of. The presidential candidates use blogs to talk about
their campaigns & moms use blogs to talk about their babies.
They are literally everywhere.
Your Options
Your
choices for blog software have grown by leaps and bounds over
the last two years. It really depends on the time you want to
take installing the script or what you want the
domain name to appear
as when people find your blog. Let me explain.
|
OPTION 1 -
QuickBlog |
| If you
don't want a web hosting account and are
simply looking for a blog you can always go
with
QuickBlog which will allow you to host a
blog on your own domain name from only $2.99
per month.

OPTION 2 -
Web Hosting W/ Blog Included |
| If
you'd like to install the blog software on a
domain name that you registered I would
recommend going with a web hosting account
with
WebsiteSpot.com as every plan comes with
blog software already installed. All you
need to do is activate & configure it with a
few clicks of your mouse and you can start
posting. |

OPTION 3 -
Blogger |
| You
can use the largest blog provider out there,
Blogger.com, which was purchased by
Google some time back. You can create a blog
simply by creating a FREE account. The
biggest thing is that you don't have a
custom domain name. It's going to be
something like
http://somethingyouchoose.blogspot.com/
rather than a true
domain name. If you don't mind than
Blogger.com is for you because it
requires not HTML knowledge to get it
installed and you can always link to it from
your website. |
