How to store arbitrary data in the bitcoin blockchain and how can I differentiate between a transaction an those data?

According to this post, I can store arbitrary data in the blockchain (as the news about "child pornography in the blockchain" tell). Now I want to store "Hello World" in the blockchain.

Is there a newer website/service that supports me putting data into the blockchain? And what's the difference between a transaction in the blockchain and such a "message"? Is the structure different? Why could those researchers even find out that it's inappropriate content instead of a default transaction?

"Is there a newer website/service that supports me putting data into the blockchain? " I know something in the ethereum platform. According to their whitepaper they allow us to store a message in ethereum blockchain. I didn't tried yet. https://lovecoin.online/

I know that it works on the ethereum chain and I do also know how it works there. Solidity makes it easy. But the bitcoin blockchain seems to be different. – ndsvw – 2018-03-29T18:23:43.770

Have a look to these data sources:

And of course the "modern" (and cheapest) way is storing arbitrary data in segwit part of transactions. I do not know is there ready tool for it, but it is not very difficult to write it.

Is there a newer website/service that supports me putting data into the blockchain?
