But what is the difference? A blog is categorized by addition of new contents and by dates.
On the other hand, content in static sites is not organized by categories or dates.
To develop a website from ground zero, such software's like FrontPage or Dream weaver are used.
Those programmers who know how to write HTML code uses a Notepad to do all their programming work.
Their nature is static.
Blogs are designed to handle simple content updates, like news articles.
Normally, WordPress blog is used as the base for blog creation.
WordPress has inbuilt functionality to make updates easy, archive or share contents in your blog.
Blog post shows up on the blogs post page.
Once you click on the content, example, a news headline, one is taken to a permalink page that only displays the queried post and its comments.
You can add categories and tags to your post to make the readers be able to find the any contents on your blog.
Blogs have the capability of linking pages as the homepage, but the creator has to create a static page for their home page.
To do this, go to the general page in your blogs dashboard and click on your radio button to the static page you have just created.
Blogs are more user friend as compared to static websites.
Personally I prefer using blogs that static websites because of the ease on use.
Blogs and websites work differently fro each other, serving very varied purpose to produce varied short-term results.
However, they are both important in increasing your online content exposure and strengthening your online business acceptability.
Blogs and static websites function correctly if they are used together and for a long duration of time with the aim of producing positive feed back results.
