A blog or website ?- Wordpress or SBI?

Should you build a blog or build a website? You may have already my article on websites and blogs in which I try to explain the differences between the two.  Sitesell.com on a recently launched site  titled Blog Or Build? think most of us should be building websites, not blogs, and I must say I agree with them.

They  go into detail as to why a blogging only solution is only for the
small minority,  and make some very valid points. What they don’t seem  to mention is that most use blogs as an add-on to a website, and not instead of a website.

At the end they go on to compare WordPress and SBI in a manner that reminded me of the Microsoft rants against Novell and then Linux, which seems to me that someone is worried about WordPress, and its time for a bit of FUD (Fear,uncertainty and doubt ).

WordPress can be used as a website, I use it and so do many others. Not only that but you not only get a website but a blog as well.

SBI is a totally different solution- It is not just a hosting package, its a complete website building process. I use it ,  it works just as they say it does, and I’m happy to recommend it, but it is not a universal solution, just as WordPress isn’t either.

If you’re unsure as what you should be building- A blog or a website, then
I’d recommend you read Ken’s article. If you want to see how easy it is to build a website with WordPress then I’m in the process of putting together a short 10 part course- Building websites with WordPress ( not finished yet).
