What is a Blogsite and Why Would I Want One?

A blogsite is a blog with all the features of a website. A website has a static menu bar linking to static web pages such as about us, contact us etc. A blog allows you to add new posts, articles and tips onto a webpage easily without a degree in Computer Science! So a blogsite has the features of a website and the functionality of a blog all in one. The greatest blogsite software out there (in my humble opinion) is WordPress. Our websites www.TechCoachForCoaches.com and www.TechToolsForCoaches.com are both blogsites created with WordPress. There are many advantages to WordPress blogsites over traditional websites. Blogsites are:

• easier to update (you can do it yourself without a Computer Science degree)
• search engines like Google and Yahoo love them
• you can update them from any computer with internet access
• you can add posts or articles to them quite easily
• you can delete any post or page whenever you like (you know in case you make a mistake or change your mind)
• you can password protect pages or posts for client or project sensitive information
• you can add accessories (known as ‘plugins’) to spice up your blog such as polls, ‘email to a friend’, statistics, site maps, books from amazon and many more
• WordPress is free to use
• WordPress offers 1000’s of free blogsite designs (known as ‘themes’)

If you’d like your own blogsite here are a couple of options for you.
1. Join us for a 6 session “Building Your WordPress Blogsite” teleclass series beginning soon.
2. Watch our training videos on www.HelpDeskForCoaches.com
3. Don’t want to create your own? We can do it for you. Our webpage will be updated soon with our offerings. If you cannot wait, and I don’t blame you, reply to this email to ask your questions and to get us started on your blogsite.
