Websites and Blogs
What's the difference between the two? Anyone could be forgiven for being confused because they're referred to in such a general nature that opinions differ widely. Let's take a quick look at what an 'authoritative' definition of the two terms might be.
​
​
Website: a set of related web pages located under a single domain name, typically produced by a single person or organisation.
​
Blog: a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.
​
From the above Oxford authored definitions alone, we can see that one can't exist without the other.
You can't have a blog without a website or web page to host it on, nor can you have a website without web pages containing information of some description, so the two terms essentially mean the same thing.
​
That explained; a blog is a bit more single targetted compared to a website and can be thought of as a collection of articles and ideas. Thoughts and/or opinions are given by a person, company, or organisation.
A blog can also be written by a group of people collaborating with each other. In short, the definition of a blog is a means of sharing information with others online.
​
Since the internet explosion, blogging has become a widely popular pastime, and information (read opinions) on just about any topic imaginable can be found on online blogs.

To find a blog on any topic you're interested in, point your web browser to https://www.google.com.au, enter the topic of a blog you want to find followed by the word blogs. I.e., 'Childcare Blogs' to find blogs related to caring for children.
