Uses of a blog
Not many people realise that a blog can be just as good as a website, only they are much cheaper to run (in fact, they are free to run). The beauty of a blog is that it is easy to keep updated and make changes yourself. In some cases blogs can be used as a website. An external blog can also be used to draw traffic to your main website. Blogs can also be used by artist's and students as an online portfolio to showcase their work and commissions.
Definition of a Blog
A blog {taken from the term: web log} is a discussion or informational site published on the world wide web and consisting of discrete entries {also known as posts} typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first).

Branding
It is not often, when running a business or working for yourself, that you have the time to step back and look at how you come across to the outside world. This workshop will be looking at how others see you and looking at ways you can make sure your visual branding is strong enough to compete with other online competition. What are you offering? Are you marketing to the right people? The way people buy, select services, etc. has changed and therefore you need to make sure your online presence will stand out in a crowd.
Definition of Brand
Brand is the "name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers. Initially, Branding was adopted to differentiate one person's cattle from another's by means of a distinctive symbol burned into the animal's skin with a hot iron stamp, and was subsequently used in business, marketing and advertising. A modern example of a brand is Coca Cola which belongs to the Coca-Cola Company. A brand is the most valuable fixed asset of a Corporation.
