What I have learnt in my second lesson

My second lesson was a little different from how it was being thought than compared to the first lesson. This time it was on the forum. My topic that I had to reply to was on which one was better, blog or website. In my experience, I cannot say which is actually better because I have only created a blog and not a website. I have to say that a blog is much more convenient than a website. This is because of the fact that all I have to do is to go onto blogger.com or wordpress.com and in less than 1 minute, I can have my blog up and ready to go. This is how convenient a blog is than compared to a website. For a website, you would need to get the license to make a website, agree to the terms and conditions and all that stuff. However, despite that a blog may be more 'user-friendly' in this case, the place which you can really personalize till a point where people can actually make accounts for you is a website. You can't make an account for a blog, as in towards a person only. All you can do is that you can subscribe to him/her. However, for a website, you can actually make accounts towards the website user, making you a member. This actually shows more devotion towards the user in the website than compared to just subscribing towards someone, because to subscribe, all you need to do is that you have to press a button. Thats all. For a website, it is different. You actually entrust the user with your personal information, hoping that he would take care of it for you. This shows how much you are willing to know more about the website. Also, for a website, i feel that it is a more long-term kind of journal. In a blog, your viewers are expecting you to post about the most recent topics on the internet or in real life. This can cause a lot of pressure on the blogger. It is even worse when you are doing a blog on a certain kind of topic, as you would need to research on it daily which can be rather tiring. But, for a website, you can post your views about a whole series of events. You are not expected to scope down into a certain kind of event. You can just give a general point of view about this events. However, a website needs to be properly maintained which can be rather annoying that you would need to keep it in shape and free from 'hackers' and online 'pirates' or 'burglars' that try to take away your website from you. However, for a blog, your blog is maintained through the blogging company so there isn't much to worry about, in this case.

Thats my points of view in this lesson. I should really try to look more in-depth into the topics that I learn every tuesday. I also need to learn how to shorten my sentences because this is a little too long which might bore some people.
