Why do regular web sites have blogs?

Web Site Blogs

Some regular websites have blogs that are attached to them, and are often more frequently updated than the main page itself. The reason for this is so that the maintainers of the website can have a place to post new information that they might not be ready to display on their main page, or so that they can put small pieces of information online without having to format them to go on the main page.

Also, the main page might be designed to be completely static and not be updated, so if the author wants to put any new information online, a blog is a quick and easy way to do it. A blog can also be read via an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed, which allows users to aggregate news stories from many websites into one location, cutting down on the time it takes to read the newly posted items.
