Blogs VS Web Pages

See full size image
Blogs are created by individuals who have something to say about whatever they want.  Blogs give individuals freedom to talk about what is important to them.  Blogs allow people to become reporters and writers.  Blogging allows us to communicate freely and express our ideas on matters such as politics, our daily lives, and allows us to have an opinion.  Guests are allowed to leave comment on material that you post to your blog and opens a steady line of communication.
There is not much difference in having a web page.  A web page is designed to be more complexed.  A blog is set up to be simple and precise.  A blog is more of a journal, whereas a web page is for entertainment, to sell and draw attention.  In deciding which is better, you must look at what it is that you are trying to show.  If its simple, go with a blog.  If you are looking for a more expanding way of communicating, go with web pages.

  1. You are correct in stating that one needs to decide the purpose before selecting a blog versus a web page. However, I think blogs can be useful for more complex issues especially when the author recognizes the need to convey ideas on a regular basis. Web pages seem to take longer to update and we tend to want them to remain recognizable for our steady viewers. Blogs let us go with the flow whenever the mood hits us.

  2. Along those same lines, I would like to add that web pages are more static, in nature. They limit the visitor's interaction with the content. Whereas blogs allow the visitor to interact with the content. Blogs are collaborative in nature, and almost PLN-like.
