If you are thinking of creating a blog or a website or website, then understanding these two terms will help you achieve your goal.
Below we will explain what the blog is and how it differs from a traditional website or website.
What is Blog?
Blog is a type of site that displays content in reverse chronological order. That is, this type of web page first displays the newest content. Blog or blog content is often referred to as postings, posts, or publications.
Bloks typically run from one person or a small group of people and show information in a chat style. However, today there are too many corporate blocs that produce tons of information.
Standard blog posts or posts also contain a section of comments where users can reply to the article.
The Story of Blogs
Blogs evolved from electronic diaries in the mid-90s. At that time, internet users were already using personal websites that were regularly updated with their personal lives, thoughts and social commentary.
The term weblog was first used in the late 90s. It later became “we blog,” and then simply “blog.”
Due to the increasing number of such websites, various tools started appearing that made it easier for users to create e-magazines and blogs. These tools helped popularize blogging and made it technology accessible even to complete novice users.
1999 launched the popular blog platform Blogger.com, which was later acquired by Google in February on 2003.
That same year, the WordPress released its first version as a blogging platform in May of 2003. Today, the software WordPress is the most popular blogging platform in the world as it feeds over 30% of all websites.
What is the difference between the blog and the website or website?
The blogs we mentioned above are a type of website. The only real difference between a blog and a website is that blogs are regularly updated with new content appearing in a reverse chronological order (the newer posts first).
Typical websites are static natures. The content is organized into pages and is not updated frequently. The blog is a dynamic site and is usually updated more frequently. Some bloggers publish too many new articles a day.
Bloks can be part of a site. Too often we see companies that have a blog module where they regularly publish content to inform their customers.
Simply put, all blogs can be sites or part of a site. However, there are sites that can not be named (or contain) blog.
For example, the iGuRu.gr it is a blog as well as a website. The website contains static content in the form of pages (about, cough) published in non-blog format.
Blogs contain articles organized in categories or in tags. On the other hand, sites use pages organized to view static content.
