What is a Blog?
A blog is basically a web page where a blogger makes
use of it. A blog can be easily started with platforms like WordPress,
Blogger, etc., that provide you with user friendly tools including
design templates.
What is the difference between a blog and a website?
Blog:
- A blog will have comment system where visitors of this blog can ask queries or give their valuable comments( good or bad)
- There may be email subscription option for users where user can get regular update of each new post posted by concerned blogger.
- Blog is dynamic in nature. A blogger can post as many contents as he/she wishes everyday.
- There
will be ads in the blog. Ads are nothing but Google's promotional
advertisement. If the blog you visit, is approved by Google Adsense,
then ads will be shown in that blog.
Website:

may see many page from a single home page. Contents are written using PHP,
CSS, HTML 5 or any front end web languages.A blog can be a part of a
website, in the form of a separate page and linked to the homepage.
- Websites are usually run by an organization, company, school, colleges, government sectors, private sectors etc.
- Many websites are run by business people who are realizing the potential of a blog in their marketing
strategy. They are adding a separate blog section to their traditional
websites and using it to get more traffic from search engines.

address. If the entered blog address is available then you will have a
message "This blog address is available". If not, then, change the

italic, underline, font style, font size tools provided at the top of
the working area.

will be automatically added when you enter your post topic. You can even
change the permalink with your own text by adding underscore in between
your title words.

reading this article. If you have any queries, please give a comment
below. I am happy to guide you. You can even use wordpress platform to
create your blog instead of blogger site. But for new comers, I usually
recommend to use blogger.com because creating web page in wordpress is
little bit complicated than blogger. You may also use other platforms
like squarespace, Joomla, Tumblr, Wix and lots more. Once you have
created your blog, please do share your experience in the comment
