People often ask, “What is a blog and how is it different from a website?” If you are thinking about starting a blog or a website, then understanding these terms will help you meet your goals.

What is a blog?

A blog is a type of website where the content is presented in reverse chronological order (newer content appears first). Blog content is often referred to as entries or blog posts.

Blogs are typically run by an individual or a small group of people to present information in a conversational style. Typical blog posts also have a comments section where users can respond to the article.
