Is it a Website or a Blog, and what is the difference? (Yes, No, and Depends)

All websites are not blogs, but all blogs are a type of website. The primary difference between a blog and other websites is that blogs are regularly updated with new content displayed in reverse chronological order, with recent posts appearing first. Blogs are also known as online journals or informational websites.

Websites have domain names or web addresses, and some websites serve as hosts for blogs. For instance, WordPress and Squarespace are web websites that support various blog formats.

While both approaches provided good answers, they differ in their perspectives. The term "blog" originated from shortening the word "weblog" to "blog," which is a website where you can post articles. Not all websites are blogs, and some serve just as signposts without any updates. However, every website has the potential to become a blog if it is updated with new content regularly.

Therefore, blogs and websites are essentially the same unless they are treated differently.
