Answer 1

Carefully read all this messages for the difference between blog and a website, though it is much but all what you want is there.

Blogs are web sites that allow you instantly publish content about a certain topic or theme or A blog is an online newspaper or magazine column without the newspaper or magazine."
There is a lot of overlap between blogs and websites and it's fair to say that blogs are a subset of websites, or that a blog is a form of website.

Here is how I define them.

A regular web site is designed to publish content for all manner of reasons. Regular web sites are static and infrequently updated. Regular web sites are great at content delivery but they can also be impersonal in how they publish content and inform their audience.

Blogs are instant publishing tools that allow you easily update your content often. Blogs are said to be dynamic content delivery systems and even content management systems. Blogs are published as two-way conversations that are more personal than web sites and are humanized by the voice of the very human blog publisher who is generally the one actually publishing content and responding feedback from readers.

Here in is the real power of blogs. The ability to reach others and relate in ways never before possible with regular web sites.Blogs have open a door to communication where people can voice their opinions and spread their ideas freely with a group of like-minded people. Freedom of expression is one of the most powerful heartfelt desires in establishing identity.

And that's really it right here. Blogs have given rise to millions on the Internet having conversations and networking ideas and principles in real-time. Blogs have grown so popular and so powerful so quickly that businesses and marketers are no using them as business accelerators and increase their reach in current and new markets as well as create more efficient communications structures.Blogs are VERY efficient! They are cheap, easy and they distribute or pass information quickly.

Here is a quick list of some of the types of content you can publish and distribute easily, quickly and inexpensively with your blog:Ideas, Commentary, Thoughts, Knowledge, Expertise, Resumes, Recipes, Pictures, Audio, Video, Books, Poetry, Products, Services, Consultations...and list goes on.

I hope I have tried.

Well, I had a web site back in 1996, and it was pretty darn good if I say so myself. But it didn't become a blog, I don't think, until June 2000, when I decided to put up something new every single day. (Shortly thereafter, I rigged up a way for readers to comment; in 2002, I switched to Movable Type and let it do the dirty work. I am now running WordPress.) Haven't missed a day since the summer of '00, either.

Usually blogs are free and flexible. It is a web+blog = blog. An oline diary whihc is rather informal .

A website becomes rather official and one has to often pay for space at least after the 'free offer' is exhausted.

Blogs on the other hand are usually user-friendly and interactive.

A Blog is like an online journal, which is on a web site.
