While blogs started out as “personal diaries”, and later a medium for political and social commentary, in the past few years they have become the darlings of the internet marketing crowd, for their ease of use, as well as the fact that search engines love blogs and spider them frequently and quickly.

You can post anything from a quick update to a lengthy product description or review in a blog post, “ping” the major directories, and have your content out there and getting noticed in a matter of hours.

This is an example of a WordPress page. You could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.  You can actually even build an entire static website, or part static site, part blog, using the newest versions of WordPress.
