    Hi,
    I'd like to start my project about sailing boats. But i don't know what to create a website or a blog. Please, give me your suggestions, friends.
    I had had my two websites, but i have never a blog.

    I'd recommend a blog, register a domain, and go for a blog at blogger.

    a blog is progressive like a story it means if they were to go to the beginning they could follow your progress from the start

    a website is verry static and would require alot of work
    for what your doing a blog is the best thing
    thin of a blog like a diary

    Hi Mick

    It depends on what you want but I've mainly gone for blogs recently as I find them to be much better for SEO. It's easy to update and change and add to your content which the engines love fresh content. Wordpress has some great templates which are really easy to implement and look very professional.

    Thank you for your answers, guys.
    I'm going to update my blog or web 2-3 times a month. Will it be for a blog enough? I heard blogs need often updates. Should i rent hosting space for a blog or a domain only? Sorry, i managed never any blog before.

    reasons why:

    1. Blogs are a cheap, do-it-yourself way to get started on the web. Blogging platforms are available free or at very low cost, and resources abound to help you set up and launch your blog.
    2. You can add to or change your blog content anytime. No more waiting until your webmaster has time to update your website! Write new posts, update old ones, even edit your static pages.
    3. Add audio and video yourself. With the help of a plug-in and a place to host your audio/video, you can spice up your blog with content for your readers to watch and listen to.
    4. Add interactivity with readers. Blogs are designed to elicit comments from readers, so now you can have conversations with potential customers, instead of just a broadcast.
    5. Build your list with blog subscribers. Add a subscription box to your blog, where readers sign up to receive email whenever you write a new blog post. You can even replace your ezine with your blog!
    6. Make your blog search-engine friendly with plugins. SEO plugins exist to manage meta tags and sitemaps easily.
    7. Search Engines LOVE blogs. Static websites are boring — blogs provide fresh content that readers like to visit often, so search engines tend to rank them higher, too.
    8. Keep your blog updated even when you are away. Write your posts ahead of time, then schedule them to be published on a date on a date in the future. Readers won’t get bored waiting a month for you to return from vacation!
    9. Change your blog design easily. How a blog looks is determined by a design theme that is changeable and independent of your content. Update your blog with a new look, without losing a single post or reader comment.
    10. Move blog content between platforms. A free blogging platform is a great way to start your blog, but you may outgrow its limited features. Export your blog content and then import it into a new platform with more features when you are ready.

    Writting blogs for what ever you want to start as a business is best as it takes less time and grow your business in a very short period of time.
