Blog for Pleasure and Profit

When Internet usage became widespread, most people who desired an Internet presence were anxious about the expense and hassle of putting up a website. Whether the goal was pleasure or profit, to have a listing on the Net, having a website was the only way to go at the time. Amateur ones were less costly, but were not terribly appealing to the visitor.

The blog was created to be a "website for the poor man" that would give you a place online minus the need to have a full-fledged website. From one mans blog to another the blog spot became a means for people to socialize online. Even though it was drab, cost was not an issue; but this was about the change.

Very soon the humble blog spot could have different fonts, photographs, and other effects that previously were only available on websites. Very soon people were able to set up personal blogs to discuss social and other issues, and sometimes to market products. A blog was less effort to create compared to a website - and it wasn't long before there were blogs everywhere on topics of every imaginable kind.
