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. I had a website (which is now off
but will be coming back) that had 12 different pages where I discussed
what I had learned about several subjects and gave instructions on how
to do or accomplish several different things that I was interested
in. Was this a "Blog" or a website. It was a web site where I
discussed my 71 years of experience. It wasnt a "Blog" or a "Blob",
or a ""West (Newspeak for Web Site)

I have been on the internet since the days when it was black and
white, text only. All I see here is what I call "Newspeak language
inflation." 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. What the hell, we are not talking
about magazines here, we are talking about PROBLEMS. Problems can be
solved, but issues can only be read and thrown away.

To you, perhaps.

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

Sort of like pointless rants on usenet?

Not so. Most were Black and White CRT. If you had lots of money
maybe you had green or amber. I had amber.... Plasma was a rarity.
Though I still have an old Toshiba with Plasma (good for night vision
on my boat).

I went with the first IBM PC, the 8088, 64k mem, single floppy deal.
Tricked it all out a bit later, so it was a hot rod. Heh.
Think I paid 2700 bucks for the barebones.
The IBM monitor was the green.
Clones were coming with amber monitors, and to my eyes they were
"tacky." Never told anybody that until now.

What else haven't you told anyone?

This might be a good time to fess uup.

Maybe, but unless it has anything to do with building boats, do it in some
other newsgroup!
