The conventional idea of a blog was that it be a specific type of website for the purpose of publishing ideas and letting others comment. But recently, blog software has become sufficiently powerful and flexible that the use of blog software is starting to change.  We can now easily design a business website which has all the normal functionality of a business website, while including the capabilities of a blog. 

This blog capability provides a means for the small business owner to post special announcements, news items, and pictures on their website by themselves.  It also allows customers to input comments and in general respond to what is being posted on the website. This is a very important development and we will see blog capability being used more and more for small business websites.
