Traditional Web Pages vs Blogs

There is a large difference between traditional webpages and blogs. Understanding the difference can help make you more efficient on the internet. Traditional webpages may hold information that is never updated. It might provide directions, or information on a subject. Blogs however, if used correctly are frequently updated. Blogs are more of a running journal, written by one or more authors. Blogs can be found on a variety of topics. These blogs allow readers to comment on the "journal entries" and also allow readers to read previous updates as well (not an option on most traditional websites.)

  1. Blogs certainly let us 'keep up' with the author's views as well as hear the voices of those who agree or are a bit disenchanted with the author's point of view. I, especially, like that it is a forum one can use to say what's on your mind and actually have at least a few people listen to you.

  2. Miztech,
    That's a good point that I forgot to mention. Especially blogs political in nature are interesting to follow because of the discussions that happen in the comments section.
