810 Blogging Lab- "Web Pages vs. Blogs"
What is the difference between a traditional web page and blog you ask? Well, the answer is simple: web pages are generally used by a company and deliver content revolving around one specific topic. For example, web sites exist for schools, businesses, and many organizations. On the other hand, blogs are created by people for readers. Blogs are similar to an online diary or journal, but have the capabilities of reaching numerous people. Content also varies among blogs; just as you would find in a normal diary. I believe web sites are very apathetic to visitors. Blogs seem to be tied to the emotions of the author. Whatever that person is feeling on a particular day may be the item of discussion in a blog. Not only does the content differ between the two, the navigational set up is very different. In every web site you will find a home page with multiple links to locations within the site and abroad. Blogs generally operate like an actual diary; a blog post for the day with numerous archived blogs before it.

Do you think all blogs are full of opinions? Do some blogs present factual information to provide a service? I think blogs come in a variety of flavors.
ReplyDeleteFrom my personal experience most blogs have been opinions. I would imagine there are blogs out there that are factual; having reliable sources available. Do you recommend any?
