<p>YOU PAY MORE FOR CUSTOM.</p>
<p>The price difference for building and more importantly maintenance is considerable and if you&#8217;re small medium size business you&#8217;ll feel the bite eventually. Of course web designers will tell you different and convince you that a custom built site has huge advantages that blogs do not offer. This is not true and in fact the reverse is true. Blogs offer far more complexity and simplicity, versatility and uniqueness.</p>
<p>Modern blogs can have themes and templates which control, alter and define the look and feel of a website. Essentially a blog is really an engine that controls the elements of a website. The difference between a blog engine and a website is that all blobs, whether WordPress, Joomla or others, is that they run from a database. That means that all the information you add to your website is stored in a database. This is a huge advantage for speed and efficiency as it also uses the power of PHP instead of HTML.</p>
<p>How does all this benefit you?</p>
<p>For one thing it is cost effective to use blogs but more importantly updating pages and posts is easy and if you can spare a tiny amount of time learning it you can save ££$$ in cost.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is information? Some would argue that everything is information. This can be true but because we define a thing using the parameters of language we must apply those rules to information also. What is the difference between data and information? What is the difference between facts and information? What is the difference between evidence and information?</p>
<p>Perhaps, quintessentially there are no differences, but within the parameters of language the difference emerges. Information is the sharing of facts with point B. To inform another person is to provide information. However, here lies the issue. To provide information would require communication and communication can fail information. Without the parameters of language enforced upon information the data being communicated simply becomes numbers and figures. One would still need a coder to recode the facts to mean something. The coder is called language, not that different from a programming language that recodes human input into machine language.</p>
