Why Use Blogs

I'm meant to talk about why major organisations would use blogs to create websites, and the pros and cons of it organisation wise, so the blog post Pros and Cons does not entirely relate here, although most of the points are probably the same as this could apply to anybody.

Well, starting with a blog would be good as blogs are free software and are easy to manage and learn, good for those with little budget or tight time management. In general, social media reaches out to people more efficiently that brochures and word of mouth these days, so breaking out on the internet is more likely to get noticed.

However, using a free web software also has its cons. As using blog software is free, other people and/or organisations also use it. There is probably around a million other users of blog software that your organisations must compete with to stand out the most and attract the most attention. Free software, despite their attempts, isn't the most secure. Hacking is a possibility since all one needs to get in is the username and password. Blog software lacks the flexibility of site-packing packs as they provide templates and layouts, and changing them to your tastes is difficult and rigid. And despite the freeness of usage, for any special features, if there are any extras at all, you would have to pay for those features, and sometimes those payments for features aren't permenant, but monthly or something or other.

In the end, it is really up to the user/organisation, if they are happy with what the blog has already provided for you.
