By Katia Frolova
HERE’S WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
What’s the story behind the word ‘blog’?
What is a blog?
What is a website?
What are the main differences between a blog and a website?
WHAT IS A BLOG?
A blog…
• is a website where
the author’s
personality matters.
Many associate blogs
with openness and
honesty.
EXAMPLE (https://www.tomakemuchoftime.com/about-
us):
WHAT IS A BLOG?
A blog…
• is a website where
posts appear in
chronological
order (with the
latest one first). A
blog, especially
lifestyle blogs,
often resemble an
online diary
EXAMPLE (pinchofyum.com)
WHAT IS A BLOG?
A blog…
•is updated
regularly
WHAT IS A BLOG?
A blog…
• allows comments
(comments are often
moderated by the
blog author, who also
actively participates in
the discussion by
answering comments)
EXAMPLES (pinchofyum.com)
WHAT IS A BLOG?
A blog…
•is well-suited for giving personal opinion on
things
EXAMPLE (https://www.techlovesstyle.com/single-post/2018/08/24/People-Watching-in-
Stockholm):
WHAT IS A
BLOG?
A blog…
can be used for
promoting your
own (or other
people’s) or
busineproductss
s
EXAMPLE:
(https://superstarblogging.nomadicmatt.com)
WHAT IS
A BLOG?
A blog…
• Can focus on
helping others
and giving tips to
other people who
share your
passion, problems
or lifestyle
EXAMPLE
(https://invinciblehouseplants.com):
WHAT IS A BLOG?
A blog…
• can be self-
hosted (ie. the
website is all
yours) or be on a
free/paid
blogging platform
such as
Blogger.com or
WordPress.com
WHAT IS A WEBSITE?
•Practically any page you visit on the
internet is a website. But not all websites
are blogs.
T Y P I C A L F E AT U R E S
O F A ‘ W E B S I T E ’
A website:
contains information,
but lacks personality
seldom allows comments
and is not focused on
interaction.
websites usually prefer
one-way communication,
whereas blogs strive for
interaction
Websites prefer
one-way
communication and
avoid interaction
TYPICAL FEATURES OF A ‘WEBSITE’
A website:
• can have an online shop/e-commerce pages
TYPICAL FEATURES OF A
‘WEBSITE’
A website:
• can have a
photo gallery
TYPICAL FEATURES
OF A ‘WEBSITE’
A website:
• usually has a
“Contact Us” page
with a contact form
TYPICAL FEATURES OF
A ‘WEBSITE’ A website:
• can include a
portfolio of
work (for
example, an artist
showcasing her
best work)
EXAMPLE:
http://www.laurako
nttinen.net/index.ht
ml
TYPICAL
FEATURES
OF A
‘WEBSITE’
A website:
• often has multiple pages about the
company (about us, values and
mission, investor relations, press etc.)
EXAMPLE: https://www.coca-colacompany.com/our-company/about-coca-cola-
journey
TYPICAL FEATURES OF
A ‘WEBSITE’ A website:
• CAN also have a blog
page. Blogs that are
only a part of a
(traditional) website
are, however, usually
less personal than
proper blogs. Having
a blog on your
(corporate) website
does not make your
website a blog!EXAMPLE: https://mcdonaldsblog.in/
WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN A BLOG AND A WEBSITE?
• Blogs are more personal and are often run either by one
person or, in some cases, a small group of people.
• Blogs are all about personal stories and opinions. Websites,
on the other hand, typically revolve around information about
a company or organization, as well as their products or
services.
