Essentially a blog is an online diary is much like the diary used to keep in a hardcopy book. However, you now maintain the same diary on the Internet, which of course should bring up some fear and trembling, because once it’s on the Internet people can access it. Even people you don’t want to be able to get access to your blog. Of course there are ways to protect your blog from prying eyes. But once it’s on the web, you just need to be careful.

Blogs are very different from traditional web sites. I guess I would use the term dynamic versus static to differentiate it from a traditional web site. A traditional web site typically is built using HTML and requires the webmaster or somebody to be able to make the changes and upload the files.

However blogs exist on the Internet, so you can basically be anywhere in the world and add posts and pictures and sound to your blog without having to have a piece of software sitting on your desktop computer. I really enjoy using blogs. I travel a lot to Southeast Asia, and it’s great to be able to go into an Internet café or a computer in a hotel or friends house, log into my blog and make a posting that all my friends can read around the world.

Blogs have become very popular over the last several years. In fact, the growth the blogs have grown exponentially all the way from personal blogs to professional blogs to blogs on politics and science and education. Our focus for this web site, SeoBlogBuilderTips.com is to focus on the business side. There are so many businesses that are using blogs

Creating blogs are very easy. For instance, you could go to blogger.com right now and start a blog within two minutes and you would be able to access that blog, as I said before, from anywhere in the world and be able to make updates to it. Of course using a tool like blogger, you are limited as far as how much you can do what you can do and blogger. I’ve read there that blogger is deleting blogs for no apparent reason.

Another way you can have blogs is to have your own hosting. Of course, this will cost a little bit of money. Blogger blogs are free. But you can get hosting now days for as cheap as a few dollars a month. Plus, you get the added benefit that you can have your own domain name. Like the domain name here, which is SeoBlogBuilderTips.com.
