Aplus.Net
Gives Two Free Blogs to Customers [March 9,
2005]
Hosting
firm makes it easy for web site owners to launch and
operate popular publishing systems
San Diego, California – March
9, 2005 - To make it easy for novice web site owners
to create and publish professional blogs, web hosting
and design firm Aplus.Net has announced that they have
incorporated two popular Open Source blog publishing
tools into their hosting plans – the Serendipity
Weblog System and the Simple PHP Blog.
Blogs
(or web lots) are increasingly influential sources of
news and discussion. Blogs benefit web site owners by
making it easy to publish journal entries and news items
in an organized system. The technology also encourages
repeat web site visitors by allowing readers to publish
comments about each blog entry.
“Everyone
from Corporate CEO’s to 7-year-olds are keeping
blogs,” said Ivan Vachovsky, Chief Executive Officer
of Aplus.Net. “Aplus.Net wanted to provide our
hosting customers with easy access to two of the best
blog-publishing tools around.”
The
“personal” blog (SimplePHP’s software)
is a journal-style blog that allows users to share thoughts,
ideas, information, and photos in an organized web publishing
system. The “community” blog (Serendipity’s
software) does the same, plus it includes advanced posting
features, multi-level user access, posting categories,
and database integration. Both products are simple enough
for beginners to install and use, yet retain advanced
features and a professional look and feel.
Both
blog tools are available immediately (and without cost)
to new and existing Aplus.Net hosting customers via
the Web Control Panel, a Web-based software that allows
customers to control all aspects of their web sites.
Blogs
have seen a significant rise in popularity and interest
recently: In 2003, search engine Google acquired popular
blog tool Blogger; ABC News named bloggers their 2004
people of the year; and search engine AskJeeves recently
announced their acquisition of popular blog index Bloglines.
