A few weeks back, my brother’s wife had asked me to come to her house as she was creating a website and she wanted me to guide her through the process. She seemed quite annoyed by the whole process and was pretty confused and frustrated at the same time. I agreed to help her, but frankly speaking I didn’t know much about creating a website myself. Though I was flattered that she thought that I did know how to create a webpage, however I wasn’t too sure why she had the notion that I had any experience with it.
Suddenly, I realized that my sister in law had a feeling that I am efficient at creating a website was perhaps because she had visited my blog. I think that she is confusing blogs with websites. Though I may know how to start up a blog nevertheless this does not make me eligible to tutor someone on creating a webpage. I feel personally that a number of people do not understand the differentiation between a blog and a webpage.
Even though I may not be too sure if I understand fully the difference between creating a blog and creating a website, but I’m willing to give it a shot. In fact I have trouble describing the difference between a blog and a website. In my opinion, a blog is a kind of an online journal. In order to give the blog some depth, a person who sets up the blog posts short articles and a range of other entries. To create a blog is simple and involves little work. I am quite comfortable with the set up and its format as blogs are free and user friendly.
For sure, creating a website requires significantly more work. There are always a number of professionals who work full time in the field of web design. I had suggested to my sister-in-law that she should utilize the service like Bravenet in her attempt at creating a website. To a lay person, Bravenet offers everything that is needed to get started as well as has a lot of information and technical support. In order to assist her through the process, I am going to walk her through the steps as laid down by Bravenet and see if we can work together in creating a website.
Well if all turns out well, perhaps I may even create a website of my own. As of now, I am going to stick to blogging. As I mentioned before, blogs are user-friendly and they are free. Frankly speaking I really do not need anything else right now. Maybe in the future, if I need any assistance in creating a website on my own I might call my sistre0-in-law to see if she can help me out. Who knows, she may well get me moving in the right direction.
