Blog or Site? Which works best, agreed to update daily

[smiling]

Hello Guys,
I am curious and at the same time I am confused to too.

What I want to ask is which is better blog or hosted site in my case.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doing some calculations for Blog = No cost

Doing some calculations for Site = Domain 3$ and Hosting 7$ =10$/month.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Pros and Cons:

Blog Pros = No cost so no risk -- Blog Cons = Less Control

Site Pros = Good control over site and statistics also helps -- Site Cons = Navigation is difficult.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now what is important to me is your suggesstion and answer to my these two questions please.

First: How to get more control over blog, I have seen many superb blogs like blog4bloggers and its superb so how to do like that and also how people can present blog on sites I mean on .com.

Second: How can I navigate if I update it daily that means around 30/month and 365/year. So what is the best way to do it, arrange it , show it. Is there any software also that can help me but in the starting I orefer doing al that manually to learn more and how to put ads between the content in blog

I know I have asked several questions and I thankyou for answering it and I am sure this post will help many of the newbie's too.

So please go ahead and answer if you know.

Thanks.

Blog.

because search engines told me so.

see.. site is static. blog gets updated faster then sites and so they gets better ranking in search engines then sites.

But blogs are for someone who can keep up, like i said you have to update it regularly.

and blog can be costly if you wish to host it on your own and not free ones like blogger or wordpress. now why would u want to do that. because that gives u more freedom, more professional look (u have your own domain so it shows ur seriousness) and like said above - more reliability, blogger is way slow and there are cases of blogs being deleted every now and then(i take backup every couple of days)
blogging platform like wordpress and blogger have their own limitations but u can modify them if u have some html knowledge. I had no problem changing mine because of my computer background but even if u don't know much there are tricks available that can be implemented easily.

cost wise no difference between site and blog.
time and effort - blog needs more.
