Differences and Similarities: Website and Blog

To discover the differences and simialrities between a Website and a Blog, I had to do some research. I found the definitions on  FreeDictionary:

Website- 'A set of interconnected webpages, usually including a homepage, generally located on the same server, and prepared and maintained as a collection of information by a person, group, or organization.'


Blog- 'a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies; "postings on a blog are usually in chronological order'

I found this infromation from  Credible Content

You can use both a blog and a website to publish on the Internet. The basic difference between a blog and a website is that on a website your main page remains static (it is constantly changing in case of a blog) and other pages contain mostly static information. On blogs — at least on majority of blogs — you can leave comments and interact with bloggers and other visitors. Most of the times this does not happen in case of a website although even on a website you can have online forums and discussion threads.
