ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BLOG AND A WEBSITE?


Yes Blog is a Website but Website is not a Blog.

The first question that arises from most of them is: What exactly is the difference between a website and a blog? Many of them tend to confuse one with the other and interpret an answer on their own. So, let’s just clear the air and highlight the difference between a blog and a website.
The basic difference between a blog and a website is theoretically the difference in how data is being presented – the format. Apart from that, in practicality, there is a very fine line between the two. There are some key differences between them and this article should clarify as to what you should go with for creating and publishing your content.

Let's Discuss What a Blog Is?

Blogspot

A blog thrives on new content and the more regularly it is updated, the more attention it will get. That doesn’t mean tons of scraps will reap you a gold mine. Quality and regularly updated content are examples of a good blog.
Basic identification of Blogs:
  • A chronological listing of blog posts.
  • A commenting system that invites readers to participate in the communication and leave behind comments.
  • Blog posts are archived by date, category,  tags and sub-categories.
  • RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds for posts and/or comments for feed-readers like Feedly, etc

Now What is a Website?

A blog can be a part of a website, in the form of  a separate page and linked to the homepage. A website is a bigger aspect and its limitations are little to none. A website could be anything from a single page to hundreds.
Basic identification of a website:
  • 1. A homepage that displays content from several sections of internal website pages.
  • 2. A design portfolio of work.
  • 3. A blog might be a part of a website, but not the only thing.
  • 4. Frequently Asked Questions page that readers can browse to get more information.
  • 5. A page of client testimonials and feedback.
  • 6. Company’s terms and privacy statements pages.
  • 7. A Contact form that allows visitors to get in touch.
  • 8. A services/products page that displays what they have to offer for the visitors.
Examples
Box, Evernote, Wikipedia, Facebook, Odesk, etc. The list goes on.
