Is it a blog or a website?

In an effort to keep websites current and blogs active, many webmasters are opting to create combination websites/blogs. After all, the purpose of the blog is to promote the website, so it is a natural evolution for a website and blog to be combined.

Blogger makes this combination easy. If you sign into the blogger dashboard of your new or existing blog, you can choose the template option. For the heading, you can upload a banner in place of the title bar if you choose. Under that, you can add text boxes that you would normally have on a website. You can add link sections to take to your web store, or to contact information. You can add anything you please.

Personally, I like for the page to look like a normal website at first glance. (with the exception of the blogger bar at the top). At the very bottom of the screen, I like for the title of the first post to peek out, giving the viewer a hint of something more below. As I add new posts, that headline will show and change and the updates to my blog will keep my website active and keep it at the top of the Google rankings.

Components of a blog/website are business and contact information, a sales component, and a sales pitch or information (for informational websites)
