A blog is an online diary. You can easily post entries and edit it, even if you do not have any technical expertise (depending on the platform where it is written on). You can use it for anything like properties, products, reviews, news, etc. They are managed daily ideally to increase the number of pages or keywords on the site, which will ultimately lead to more chances of being visited through search engines.
The only downside is that you have to invest a lot of time and commit to frequent uploads if you want to have a successful blog. Of course it will take some time to grow, but it all depends on you.

Nowadays, Reddit members are taking the source code and they are importing it to their sites so they can create social news hubs on their own. This opportunity came just recently when Reddit released their source code for free. Open for everybody. It is slowly becoming a platform for establishing link sharing sites. While developers had the ability to do this on their own, IT became much easier for them to do so since it went on to be an open source code. They can now personalize their voting system according to their site’s needs. And now, the system can be imported from Reddit’s domain. It is hoped that with this, news voting system will grow in number on sites that do not have them. Reddit is much smaller than its rival Digg and Yahoo Buzz but it has been making waves these past few months. The alternative in-house social news system might just help other sites wanting to adopt this kind of thing to its web site.

Using this technique you can easily construct some of the templates, models and views needed for the majority of the basic websites, homepages and even web portals. “WEBrick” is a new technology which Ruby development uses too. The sense of it is that library, which is included in Ruby distribution, provides basic HTTP web server services and tools. “Rake” is also included too, the sense of this anonymous function block is: to define various tasks which allows one to use Ruby syntax.
