Website vs. Blog:

Hi! everyone, I agree with Phillip's description of Website vs. Blog.  He expained it very well!
As I know, Website exists long before Blog.  Blog only exists in recent years.  so-called social media.  It is for people get out their information and personal opinions in a simple way.  Comparing web site, it is only very little of info.  Web site is used to do business such as online stores, Web site also can be used as expressing personal perspectives called personal web site.

In a word, I believe Blog is a little part of Web site.  Because of the convience of blog, more and more people use it.  It is part of the social media trend.

Your comments are very welcome.

Webpages vs. Blogs

Website vs. Blog:

Hmmm... I believe the technologies are merging, but as defined for this class in the readings so far, a blog is an online posting & reply tool which can also include multimedia if Web2 is used.  From our readings this week I see that young folks at least in 2005 do quite a lot of blogging.  I do like the tips in Anne Davis's article "A vision for classroom blogging" - & plan to try this in any environmental courses I teach - since I do believe we need to reach students where they 'live' in the virtual world & try to speak their language.

I would say websites have become more of a hub or table of contents for the many technologies you can utilize online - so as I develop my online portfolio (a website) I would link to that my blog, any documents supporting my CV, perhaps sound & video files, pictures, etc. 

What say you group 3?  Is there any real difference between blogs & websites or are they merging?
