Let's begin by mentioning the three things that blogs and websites have in common: 1) Both are ways to publish information and other data online, 2) Both can be started and kept by any individual who is inclined to do so, and 3) Both have URLs that anyone with an Internet connection can access. However, the similarities end there.
The main difference between the two is that blogs tend to be a lot more dynamic than websites. Blogs are updated on a regular basis with posts or entries that usually contain date/time stamps. Websites, on the other hand, are designed to be static. So, there is no need to update regularly and/or to add the date/time of update. Also, websites are updated with pages rather than posts or entries.
Even with WYSIWIG (What You See Is What You Get such as Cute site builder) tools, some form of formatting knowledge is still required for designing and updating websites.
We are most fortunate here to encompass both a blog and a website plus the forum and above all have the benefit of Johns knowledge,food for thought,what a wonderful world we live in today.
