She argues that the
the difference between blogs and web sites is steadily vanishing. These channels are definitely converging
But were they ever so different.
After all, a blog is nothing more than a kind of web site supported by a content management system that provides a useful collection of features: Comments, a permalink for each post, categories, tags, a home page where the latest content automatically appears on top and earlier stuff scrolls down, etc.
To me though there is a difference even if the lines are blurring.One,the website is an information portal,yes it can contain blogs but that is not necessarily its primary role.The other,the blog is the site of interaction and opinion

Hi, Nigel.
If you think a blog is mainly about opinion, then you might want to read my earlier post, What's a blog? Bag the stereotypes.
A blog is just a tool that can be used to present any kind of content you choose.
