I appreciate your input, and I do agree with you on the difficulty aspect. And the fact that the reader doesn’t and shouldn’t care.

This is just a guide for some of my readers who have inquired about the difference between the two and trying determine which is better while to run a work at home business.

You are also correct in saying “Content is King” (or Queen if you ask Liz).

Thanks for visiting, and I hope to see you more often.

Another difference between the two is that, in general, a website will require more knowledge to create and to maintain. Although the plethora of WYSIWYG editors has made website development much easier for the average person, it is still more difficult than your typical blog. Someone can create a maintain a blog with literally next to no technical knowledge, and I don’t think you can say that for a website. I’m not really sure if that’s an advantage or disadvantage, I guess that would depend on your level of expertise and viewpoint

Another point you may want to note is that the average user could care less whether it is a blog, or a website, or a wiki, or a [place your favorite CMS here]. The comparison is really only valid for creators of sites, not for consumers of sites. Studies have shown that the vast majority of internet users don’t know and don’t care when they visit a blog, and many that have been to blogs don’t even know it. They don’t care, and shouldn’t be required to care. All they care about is getting the information they came for, so we come once again back to the mantra: “Content is king”.
