During our last task we were asked to research specific topics, mine was Cars! I decided to narrow this search to racing cars and many different sites came up; by looking through these different pages I discovered the difference between a blog and an actual website.
A blog has many different characteristics compared to a website, for example: a blog is updated regularly and is very personal to the topic it is based, it includes the persons own opinions and feedback on a subject they are writing about for example, 'All by myself I have, with no help from nobody else no sir-ee so nerrr.'
Adding your own comments, photos and videos are more characteristics to a blog, a blogger can upload photos of their favourite cars or their dream cars, they can also upload their home made videos to a blog, as well as comments on another blog.
Blogs are also dated, therefore you can see when the blog was last updated and if it is relevant to recent times. Links to both twitter, facebook and other social networking sites are also on a blogging page, as well as tabs to different websites!
In contrast a website is very formal, the layout is completely different to a blog and the background is often dark and inviting. The website has hyperlinks to other pages on the internet and also different pages on the same site!
A webiste can also try to sell offers, for example the tab at the top "Cars for sale". Different to a blog, a website also has a contact us page showing that there are admin to the webiste.
