How to Create a Blog

The content is usually organized by date and category with the most recent post/content displaying first.
If you look at this site, the content is organized by content and not by date or category. There are also no comments.
This is a static website I created with Dreamweaver.
So it's important to think about how you want your content to be organized by default.
Having your visitors view/sort your content by date and category may not be the optimal solution for every kind of site because the older content will get buried over time.
Have you ever visited a blog and had trouble finding what you're looking for because of the content organization?
This is because the owner didn't do a good job of making use of static pages and linking to useful content to help you navigate through it.
Blogs are awesome for highlighting new content, but if you don't take the time to organize your content effectively, your important information can get buried.

Blogs Are Perfect For...

If you plan on creating the kind of website where you're just highlighting newsworthy information on a very specific niche, then a traditional blog format is ideal.
Think TechCrunch.
It's a site that features the latest and greatest info about technology. So it makes sense to just sort the content by category and date because people coming there just want the most recent information.
Also, if they are interested in a certain kind of content, they can browse by category (i.e. Gadgets, Social, Startups, etc.)
If you plan on writing a lot of newsworthy content on a certain topic then a standard blog is perfect for this.
However, if you are creating a tutorial site where a static layout is more appropriate (like this one) then you may want to either consider a static site or make your WordPress site more static by using WordPress menus, Pages, etc. like I did on my hair website.
I discuss how to do this in the video near the bottom of the page and in my WordPress tutorial.
