Are You Confused About
Which Blog to Use For Your Business?
By - Irene Houston
Sometimes we're exposed to
so much misinformation that we end up believing things that just aren't true.
For example, you may be
under the impression that it's difficult to start a blog for your business. Or
you may have read somewhere or other that you need advanced computer skills to
start blogging.
Let me explain the
different blogging programs to you and sort out a few facts from fiction.
Basically, there are three
different types of blogging software.
1. Free Blogs
This is normally offered
by large software organizations and whilst it may seem like a good deal and very
appealing, it's worth pointing out a couple of drawbacks.
Free blogging programs
have been known to close accounts with little or no warning. Imagine spending
weeks, if not months, building your business blog, adding your valuable content
then one day you try to log in... and it's gone. Very frustrating to say the
least, it'll take time and a lot of effort to replace all your valuable content.
Unfortunately, this has happened to many small business owners mainly because
they haven't informed themselves of the terms and conditions which can often
prohibit commercial usage.
2. Open Source Blogs
Open Source blog programs
have been created by hundreds of people all over the world who work on their
development, they are not owned any one company or organization. The free
version has the same drawbacks I mentioned in the previous point. However, there
is also a version where you can purchase hosting and have more control over your
blog. Bear in mind you'll need some HTML programming knowledge to set up the
blog and to maintain numerous security issues involved around Open Source
software.
3. Privately Hosted Blogs
If you are a small
business owner you need to feel secure that the terms and conditions of your
business blog allows for commercial usage. Trading on the internet means
adhering to certain regulations.
Privately hosted blog
software companies have created 'user friendly' interface programs specifically
for commercial users. Costs of hosting can work out to be just a few cents
a day. This is a great advantage for new businesses owners who often struggle
with costs and overheads in the first few critical months of trading.
Using privately hosted
blogging software gives you complete control over your blog and more
importantly, there is no fear of being closed down or having to take care of the
security issues.
