Should I blog or build a website...or both?

This is a VERY popular question these days. It seems like everyone is trying to etch out their little place on the web. With seemingly endless mediums available in which to make your mark, knowing just which is right for you can be a tough decision in itself.


Should I blog or build a website...or both?
To blog or build, that IS the question. The answer depends entirely on you and your plans. It can be a tough choice and in the end you very well could end up doing both as we have.

Websites offer way more in the terms of functionality but are more involved and coding is often required. Blogs on the other hand are quick and easy mediums in which to publish online content, but blogs (both Blogger and Wordpress) are very limited. Often times most people will start out with a blog. Once they are more familiar with what they are doing they will often move into full web design.

So why would I need both?
Let's imagine your site is getting popular and you are regularly updating it. Your customers/readers might like to know when you have updated your content without having to visit your site. So, you set up your old blog and now you point the RSS feed address to your email newsletter provider. This way your readers can get email updates when you add more content to your site.

This is just one simple reason one might chose to build and blog. If you would like some more info on this subject click here.
