Blog Lesson: Blog Templates are Customizable
While each blogging tool and service is different, each enables customizable of blog templates that determine how the blog is displayed on the web. My preferred blogging tool is Movable Type, primarily for the reason that the template system is extremely customizable.
Some blogging tools enable you to customize the web templates in wasy that enable you to build web sites that go beyond the conventional blog-format sites.
Since Movable Type's template system is highly customizable, with a little creativity, you can use Movable Type templates to build many different types of sites, which may not resemble a blog at all.
Another major benefit to a customizable template system is that it enables SEO optimization of the templates. By applying "on-page" SEO best practices to the blog templates, you can be sure that every blog entry to create will be optimizable for search engines. Which brings us back to the first Blog Lesson: that the Blog CMS system makes it easy and fast to publish content, even SEO optimized content.
