In an article from Duct Tape Marketing, by John Jantsch, he talks about the benefits of hosting a blog on your own server.  This is a feature that Compendium Blogware provides for you.  There are many benefits to NOT hosting your own software. 
  1. You do not have to learn how to apply the upgrades to your existing software.
  2. We walk you through any questions that you might have so you fully understand the functionality of your software.
  3. Any problems that you experience with "free" blogs, you are expected to fix.  We take the guessing game out of it by fixing the issues for you.
  4. Our company is open for suggestions that you have for product requests.  Therefore, you get to use a software that you are comfortable with. 
Our blog hosting software is always changing and improving to fit the needs of our clients.  If you are considering utilizing an organizational blogging platform look no further than Compendium.
