What is Different Between Blogs And Websites...

Well all blogs are websites but not all websites are blogs. A confusing comment I know but I here is a simplified version of what I am saying. All Hummers are suvs but not all SUV’s are Hummers. The general definition of a website is a list of pages under the same domain.
While you could create a static website adding content would be difficult because you would be constantly using a web editor to add new content. This isn’t as hard as it sounds but one challenge is that you would need a WYSIWYG editor loaded on every machine you wish to use to add content, this isn’t always convenient. Also you might want to have someone else few or edit your web pages but not necessarily have access to the website.
A content management system is the best way to do that. You shouldn’t have to mess with the look and feel too much because their are many templates to use. While Wordpress is considered a blogging tool its much more powerful than that. Its a CMS, which separates content from layout. I know what you are thinking. Isn’t this was CSS is supposed to do. CSS is supposed to separate the presentation from the layout of the page. That means one style sheet can control the look of your entire website but it doesn’t separate the content. Only the styling of content. Making words bold, changing the color of the background, etc.
Anyone starting with web design should take a look at Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal since these are open source initiatives and have a large community of developers and users. I have been using Wordpress for about a year now and I have learned alot. Take a look at my site and you will see you can have both a website and a blog. Having your postings on a separate page.
