Hi everyone,

Can you show me what is the difference between a blog and a website ?
I get confused about this problem and it's great if someone can explain for me obviously.

Thank you

In simple words a blog is an online journal where people can update data frequently and web site is a group of web pages where material is published for several reasons. This is the common difference between them.

A blog is use to submit any story, artickes, news, or updates of company. where as site is for promoting business products & services

The basic difference is that a blog has regular updates with high quality articles, whereas a website contains static contents and is not frequently updates.

Hello everybody,

this thread is getting interesting. In my opinion the question is not appropriate. It must be "Difference between a Blog and a Portal" OR "Difference between a Blog and a Static Website".

I hope everybody will agree with me in these points:

1. Every Blog is a Website (definition of a website - an e-location on World Wide Web, which can be reached from any internet connected device from anywhere in the world)
2. Every Website may not a Blog necessarily.
3. The word "Blog" came from "Web-Log", which means a platform where an individual or a group of individuals can enter and save articles and writes about their knowledge and acquired information (from some research) which is accessible by the world and helpful to them.
4. The contents of a Blog is always dynamic. It gets updated every now and then.

Please let me know with what are you comparing the "Blog", then I can explain you more on this. I hope it helps.
