Thanks for your comment Ron! What would you recommend for people – say in the service industry (car mechanics, massage therapists, etc) who don’t want to think about posting comments? A blog that looks like a website? I’ve had someone in the past go in and remove all of the options to comment on posts and remove the dates so at least it’s easy to update. The only trouble I see with blogs is that they are all templates – Interested to hear your thoughts!

Interesting post, Joanna.

In the past, the difference in a website and a blog was interactivity. However, the days of “static” websites are becoming more and more obsolete. People like to interact with websites. That’s why it’s increasingly important to have a blog. However, just as the websites have changed, so have blogs. In fact, some “blogs” don’t even look like blogs anymore. They look like websites! (And websites look like blogs)

So, to answer your question, what is the difference between a blog and website… there really isn’t one anymore. Because people (like you and I) are using the blog platform to build our websites.

Thanks for the post!

Thanks so much Nic! I was hoping to maybe set it up as to have a website with a tab for my blog, as well as tabs for my services, affiliate products, etc. What do you think about that?

Looks like your rockin’ it here Joanna. I use the term blogsite to refer to using a blog platform like wp to create a website on steroids. WP is just so easy to update and there are so many useful plug-ins that make life and SEO a breeze.

Keep it coming! Oh, and Harley has a blog too at harleylucas.com –> he’s 6 now and is lovin’ the internet.

Cya.

Joanna,

Even though you still have some ‘tweaks’ to make, I love the layout and the header image!

WordPress is a powerful platform, and the adjustments to the site will be a piece of cake once you mess around with it for a little while. On the other hand, you can always outsource it via oDesk, Elance, Guru, or RentaCoder, for a very reasonable price.

Best of luck!

Ha. You win for the weekend. I didn’t post anything or work on my blog. I just did a lot of research.

SEO + + Interaction + You can write 20 posts in one day and have them automatically posted over weeks while you are out learning how to surf.

Also, you can reply to a comment here that I post, and it will send me an e-mail letting me know you responded.
