Why Blog?

With the arrest of one of the famous blogger in Malaysia, blogging is once again become the spotlight for Malaysia people.

What is blog? Blog is the short form for weblog. To make it easier for you to understand, blog is the site where someone posts his/her story on. The best example is what you are reading now is called blog where I write my personal story on it.

Next question, how to create a blog? There are two types of blog. One is the blog services provided by some website like blogger.com and wordpress.com where you can easily create your own blog. Another types of blog is you buy your own domain name with a very low price and own your own blog.

Now you might ask why I should pay for a domain name to host a blog while I can get a free one? The answer is simple, you have limited control on free blog service but you have full control on your own blog. Still remember there was time when we used ICQ as our communication tool but now most people are using Skype or MSN? I bet very less people using ICQ now. Why? because internet change their trend very fast. Today the free blog company might be famous but they may end their servise or become less popular in the future. This is why it is better to have your own blog. I bet you do not want all the data in your blog disappear once the company decide to close down the service.

The advantage of having your own blog is you have full control on how you want your blog to be. You can set up an opt-in form where you can request your friends to sign up for free update. You can place your advertisement on your side bar, and your can share all the links to all the favourite sites you like at your own blog. The most important point, it will not disappear as far as you manage your blog well.
