Fire your Webmaster and Hire A Blog

Replacing your web site with a blog is a great solution for anyone who wants to build quality content effectively. I been sucessfuly launching entire websites with weblog software for a couple of years now using Movable Type exculsivly and have no regrets doing so.

In the beginning I spent a little over 3 months tinkering and testing and before I knew it I was on my way to converting my existing websites into a weblog completly powered by Movable Type.

So what's a Blog anyways?

Blogs are sort of like "living websites" which are created and activly maintained with weblog software. A blog is typically filled with daily, weekly or monthly entries. In some cases blogs can be interactive with the visitors who read them. This is done with a user comment dialog immediatelty following a article orshort blurb about something.

A blog can look like any other website and can easily be customized using templates and stylesheets (CSS). About.com is a good example of a Movable Type blog written for an entire site. Each blog author maintains his own subject or speciality about a given topic.

Here are some of the top blogging sites to check out:

Movable Type
Blogger
Geeklog
Radio

Movable Type is Database-driven but dont let this scare you ... as all runs trasparently in the background.. Movable Type acts as a web-based interface between you and your database which includes all of the pages from your website, your links and your images as well.

When you write a new article, it is added to the database and posted to your website. Changes can happen automatically (using Php) or statically (require you to "rebuild" your website).
