I've noticed that people like to follow trends but trends often fade. I have both traditional sites and blogs. My strategy is to build a traditional site for my products and product reviews. I build blogs to complement those sites with insightful posts that reference my main site. This strategy has served me well. My advice is to use whatever platform you feel comfortable with. Building a website is really about offering quality content and giving your visitors a user friendly experience by help them find what they are looking for. Most any platform can deliver that, you just need to know how to effectively deliver it. Good points. I’ve noticed that people like to follow trends but trends often fade.

Now radials are far more common and durable, but without knowing when, why, how far and what will the road surface be, it is impossible to definitively recommemd one over the other.

If you want to learn a thing through internet without any prior knowledge than you will have to adopt different methods - Hit and trial method - Keeping record method These are really time consuming. But yes if you will manage to learn yourself than you will get huge knowledge about other relevant things as well. About typical HTML base website ... people wont go even to second page as this one will look like old car in ferrari track. Yes everything is available but main point is time as well.

These are really time consuming. But yes if you will manage to learn yourself than you will get huge knowledge about other relevant things as well.

How often do you have to update a blog?

WP is a CMS, not just a “blog” – update it once a day, week, year, depends on the structure of your business.

How easy is it to gain a loyal following

Very easy, integrated RSS feeds, Twitter widgets, contact forms, social bookmarking hooks, all very easy to implement in WP.
