So what is a blog?

A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world. A place to share your thoughts and your passions. Really, it’s anything you want it to be. For our purposes we’ll say that a blog is your own website that you are going to update on an ongoing basis. Blog is a short form for the word weblog and the two words are used interchangeably.

Post regularly, but don't post if you have nothing worth posting about.

Stick with only a few specific genres to talk about.

Don't put 'subscribe' and 'vote me' links all over the front page until you have people that like your blog enough to ignore them (they're usually just in the way).

Use a clean and simple theme if at all possible. Best if it's responsive.

Enjoy, blog for fun, comment on other peoples' blogs (as they normally visit back).

Have fun blogging and remember, there are no rules to what you post on your blog!

What are Business Blogs?

Business Blogs developed as a natural progression. They use the same technology but tend to be very targeted in terms of their subject matter and focus on a specific market area or niche. In fact, something to bear in mind: the most successful are set up with both an audience and a business focus in mind which they then stick to. Why? Because the audience they are looking to reach will expect it – that is why they were attracted to it in the first place and that is why they will return and recommend the blog to others.
