Frequently Asked Questions

What is a weblog?
A weblog is a publicly accessible website/page for individuals or businesses. Typically, it is updated frequently with articles, pictures and links and reflect the personality of the author. Postings are arranged in reverse chronological order – meaning the most recently added article appears first, followed by the second most recently added article and so on.

Unlike traditional websites, weblogs give you the opportunity to connect. Weblogs are a conversation rather than a billboard. You post content and others can post their responses.

The possibilities for a weblog are endless! For personal use, consider creating a weblog about your vacations, family celebrations or other special events. Or perhaps a sports forum or a way to keep league teams connected. How about as a place to post and share all of your photos?

For businesses, weblogs have become ideal for communicating between departments and project teams as well as being a great way to build and maintain customer relationships.
