What is the difference between a traditional web page and a blog?  From what I have researched so far, the major differences are in the type of content that is published to the web.  Blogs allow people to publish their personal news, while web pages typically provide public news.  Therefore, blogs allow people to post what is important to them.  However, the differences are not only in the content that is provided.  In an attempt to answer the question, an experienced blogger enlightened me on some physical differences.  He said that a typical web page has multiple pages linked off of one web address.  For example, a news paper's website will have a main page with other pages linked off of it (sports, local, opinion, etc.).  On the other hand, a blog is like a running diary.  It is typically just one page, with new posts being added on top of older posts.   These differences allow bloggers to easily create and publish their personal news and opinions on the web through blogs.
