What is a Blog?

A blog is a website that acts as an online journal and contains regular entries of information such as descriptions, images, news, updates and events. An entry in a blog is known as a post. Posts are usually displayed in reverse chronological order meaning that the latest and most recent post is freatured first. Blogs are usually written by individuals on a particular topic relevant to their website, hobbies or interest. Have a look at our blog as an example.

How does a Blog help promote my home business?

Blogging is a good method for adding content to your website on a regular basis. Search engines like websites that are fresh and updated. By creating a blog for your website you not only increase the number of pages indexed in search engines but also have a more "search engine friendly" website for quicker indexing.
