Quick Blog Creates Easy-to-Use Online Journals
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 100 million individuals and businesses have entered the world of blogging, according to the Blog Herald. A blog, short for weblog, lets its writer/blogger post information in a personal journal style directly to the Web. Readers are then able to add commentary to the blog entries.
Now, GoDaddy.com®, the No. 1 registrar of domain names worldwide, both in terms of new daily registrations and domains under management, is making it easy for customers to create and maintain their own blogs. Quick Blog is included FREE with every new domain registration, transfer or renewal.
"I started my blog, www.bobparsons.com, last year to communicate to the world about our Super Bowl commercial," said Bob Parsons, Go Daddy(R) founder and president. "Readers asked about the application I used, so we decided to offer it to every single customer who registers, renews or transfers a domain."
Quick Blog is an easy-to-use application packed with powerful features, including:
o Customizable templates for different designs and layouts
o Image and audio upload capabilities for sharing favorite photos and
more
o Ability to block unwanted visitors from accessing the blogger's site
using IP Banning
o Instant automatic updates for blog subscribers on new postings through
RSS Feeds
o Mailing list notification to help the blogger keep in touch with
visitors
o Surveys to get visitor opinions
o Site Statistics to track visitor activity
"As the popularity of blogging explodes, we want to give our customers an easy way to try it for themselves without spending a lot of money," said Parsons.
The ad-supported blogs contain relevant online advertising on a small portion of the site, but DO NOT include obtrusive pop-up ads. Quick Blog is supported by a world-class data center and backed by a 99.9% uptime guarantee. In addition, Quick Blog plans are supported by best-of-breed router, firewall and server equipment; full network redundancy; enterprise-class backup and restore technology (daily incremental and weekly full backups); and 24 x7 monitoring and security.
