What's a Blog?

A blog is a series of content (called "posts" that are usually organized by date with the most recent post showing first. Many blogs also have the posts organized by category for convenient browsing.They have comment forms at the end of every post that allow the readers to give the author feedback

and interact with other readers.Blogs (taken from the phrase "web logs" were originally created for personal journalism. Now people use them in place of a website, or in some cases, they own both.

When to Blog

Blogs are best when you have a topic that compels you to write fresh information on a consistent basis. That's why a lot of news-oriented websites are moving toward blogs.

People who read blogs often use a functionality called RSS, which allows them to subscribe to your blog's content with an RSS reader.When they open up their reader, they can see the latest headlines from your blog at a quick glance. That's why it's important you choose a topic where you can provide fresh content on a regular basis. Otherwise, people may stop reading your blog if they see you aren't writing enough new content.

What's a Website?

Just like a blog, a website is a collection of content called web pages. Unlike a blog, the pages are not usually organized by date.With websites, you have a more control of your site's layout because it's easier to work directly with the code.

Now, of course, if you take the time to learn CSS, HTML, PHP, etc. you can change the layout of a blog as well. However, it's not quite as straightforward since blogs are made up of several different files and the coding is a bit more complex. With a website, you can manage your entire design in a software program so editing the overall layout and design is a little easier than managing the layout of a blog.
