Blog vs. Website

People ask: What is a blog? What is the difference to a website? Here are some thoughts and facts that I found and that aren't a secret:

A blog is a weblog where content gets updated on a regular basis. It displays in reverse chronological order. To avoid confusion with server log, weblog was named blog. A blog is in fact one page with monthly archiving. It needs to be updated with new content periodically; otherwise, people will lose interest in it.

Whereas, a website is a collection of web pages. The first page of a website is called home page. A website has a defined domain name (address) on the world wide web. Websites basically aren't updated as often as blogs, they stand more for longer lasting information - certainly depending on their actual purpose.
