A Blog Is Not a Book

The Gutenberg Bible was published in 1455. One of its original copies lies in the New York Public library. The words in that book are the same today as they were a hundred years ago. That’s the feature of a book – it is permanent.

Now compare that with the first blog on the internet - links.net. It started in 1994 and is still being updated in 2022. It is getting expanded, reduced, and edited. That’s the feature of a blog – it is editable.

Remember this feature when working on your blog. Having second thoughts about publishing a post? Just press the publish button. If you find mistakes later, you can rectify. If you don’t like it, you can delete.

A blog is not a book because it is editable. Use this feature for your benefit.
