Explain to me the difference between a "Blog" and a Website.


Nothing and everything. A website may be a collection of web pages about
anything. Database, catalog, directory, index, or whatever. A weblog is
usually a list of items tracked by a person over the course of time,
posted
onto a web server and thus seen as a website. A blog exists only as
(part
of) a website, but a website may have many pages and none of them a
weblog.


That doesnt make any sense at all.


To you, perhaps.

I have been on the internet since the days when it was black and
white, text only.


Gee, then you're a newbie. Most early screens weren't black and white
(plasma, amber, green, etc)

People make up new terms to replace old ones just to be
doing something because they lack a life outside of making up words.
Like "issues" to replace "problems." Its just a euphemism to make
problems seem like something else.


Sort of like pointless rants on usenet?
