I hear this alot and from some very intelligent people - blogs are very different from their website counterparts and in many ways.

<p>If you think that a blogsite and a website are fundamentally the same, you haven't fully grasped the definition of a blogsite. At the outset consider some of the requirements of a typical business blog:</p><ul><li>Put a humanistic face on a business.</li><li>Foster dialog with your customer base.</li><li>Establish a broadcast point for high-velocity marketing communications.</li><li>Build readership of prospects by sharing domain expertise.</li><li>Increase the reach of your marketing message through syndication.</li></ul><p><font face="Trebuchet MS">If you attempt these objectives with a website (typically based on a content management system of some sort) you'll hit a few roadblocks and the customization costs&nbsp;may be significant. The results will likely&nbsp;be sub-par compared to a Blogsite. These points are just the tip of the differences; there are many more technical differences that are equally difficult to satisfy&nbsp;using typical content management systems or custom-developed pages.</font></p><p><font face="Trebuchet MS">Using a blogsite as your website seems to be a growing trend - we use a blogsite as our website and the performance is stellar. A number of our customers do as well.</font></p><p><font face="Trebuchet MS">Anyone that believes a blogsite is no different than a website should give me 60 minutes to demonstrate why this is a misconception - drop me a <a href="mailto:bfrench@myst-technology.com">note</a> and we'll have a chat.</font></p> 10 application/xml false business blogging requirements website vs blogsite Anyone that believes a blogsite is no different than a website should give me 60 minutes to demonstrate why this is a misconception.
