Web Pages vs. Blogs

What is the difference between a traditional web page and a blog?  In order to answer this question, I had to first figure out what a blog was!  After figuring that out, I was able to distinguish between the two.  Both pages provide information.  However, on a traditional web page the information generally does not change.  In other words, the majority of the page is static.  If it does change, it is not usually on a daily basis.  People would generally access a web page to find information about a topic or to buy or sell something.  A blog page is constantly changing.  It is more interactive than a web page.  For example, a person could share a personal experience on their blog page and readers are able to leave comments, opinions, advice, and create discussions with other bloggers.  With a blog, the author has the ability to take more ownership in the information they share on the internet than ever before.

  1. Kimberly, this adds more about the real differences between web pages and blogs. I think the ownership piece is the most important these days. It makes all of us creators and contributors when we use blogs.
