The difference between a website and a blog

Ever Wondered the difference between a website and a blog?

Let’s get it spelt out…

Actually, there isn’t too much difference. Both website and blog are technically websites in general.

You can accomplish some of the same things with each of them. But there are some things to know…

A Blog is a type of website that is frequently updated with new contents and the contents are presented in a reverse chronological order (newer content appear first).

Blog content is usually in the form of entries or “blog posts.” A blog is unique and is usually updated pretty often. Some bloggers publish multiple new articles a day.

A blog can be a website on its own or a part of a bigger site. Early iteration of blogs were once used mostly for online personal journals.

Blogs are great avenues to get ideas across to a wide audience. Not only do blogs draw audiences and create community, but they can make serious money too.

Websites tend to be much more static and is organized into pages. A website is a collection of webpages and multimedia content that are all collated under one domain.

Websites are also usually hosted over web hosting services – which allow these pages and content to be accessed over the World Wide Web (www).

Websites can be used for different purposes: business, personal, and even for governments and agencies.

Websites are meant to provide information to visitors or audiences – a sort of an online brochure for a company or organization.

Although a website can contain a blog, but a WordPress blog doesn’t and can’t contain a full website.

Whichever one you choose, both will help in scaling your business online presence.
