HOSTWAY NOW OFFERING SITEBLOG FREE TO CUSTOMERS: THINK IT...WRITE
IT...SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD
SiteBlog Provides Free and Easy-to-use Blogging Services for Businesses
and Individuals Alike.
Chicago, IL—Thursday, January 21, 2005—Hostway
Corporation, a global leader in Web hosting and managed services,
today announces the launch of SiteBlog – an easy-to-use blogging
tool that's free to the company's new and existing Shared Hosting
and Advantage Dedicated Server customers. In tune to the popular blogging
phenomenon on the Internet, SiteBlog provides an abundance of features
that appeal to customers' needs ranging from large corporations to
personal diaries.
"We at Hostway are pleased to offer our customers the ability
to add blogging to their Web sites—for free," says John
Lee, vice president of marketing at Hostway Corporation. "With
this easy and graphically appealing tool, our customers can communicate
their message, whether business focused or personal opinion—in
a more interactive, real-time medium."
SiteBlog is now available at www.hostway.com/siteblog and allows Hostway
customers to create and maintain an online journal, which can be linked
from their regular Web sites. Customers may create unique profiles
and choose from 12 changeable design themes to appeal to their specific
tastes and blogging objectives.
With what-you-see-is-what-you-get postings, users may clearly and
easily add information onto their blogs using various colors, fonts,
numbered lists and bullets. They may save drafts or publish work immediately,
in addition to posting comments and pings on a per-post basis. SiteBlog
also provides the means to maintain customizable categories and add
standard HTML links within these groupings.
Users can feel confident about SiteBlog's security features, which
assure that only intended content appears on their blogs. Customers
may take advantage of password-protected posting options, the ability
to maintain comment rules, and the preference to publish readers'
feedback automatically—or only with express administrator's
approval. They can also manage comment-spam rules and require that
their blogging submitters leave email addresses for follow-up purposes.
SiteBlog has the ability to arrange for automatic updates and communication
with other blogs and blog trackers via an email address for email,
pingbacks and trackbacks. Customers may also add and customize RSS
feed links to pull in headlines from news sites and other blogs.
