@johnpketchum12 said in What is the difference between WordPress blog and website?:
In contrast, a business blog is constantly being updated with new entries. The “home” page of a blog typically displays the latest entry. Blogs are more dynamic than websites. Blogs also tend to encourage visitors to interact by leaving comments.
Using WordPress, you can create two types of content: pages and posts. Pages are traditional, static web pages while posts are time-stamped entries that are placed on blogs.
If you will be using WordPress to create a standard website and not a blog, any time you create a new page, you’ll choose the “add new page” option rather than “add new post.”
First you need to install WordPress onto your web hosting package. This can be done manually, or if you host with , you can use our one-click install application.
Even installing manually is fairly simple; you’ll need a few things first:
Your host’s FTP details (host, user and pass)
MySQL database access
WordPress installation files (available here)

By definition, a website is “a place on the world wide web that contains information about a person, organisation, etc., and that usually consists of many web pages joined by hyperlinks” while a blog is “a website on which someone writes about personal opinions, activities, and experiences.”
Though those definitions imply that the difference has a lot to do with business versus personal usage, that’s not quite accurate. After all, a business can have a blog and a person can have a website.
With a website, the pages tend to be more static in nature. For example, a business website might have a home / welcome page, about us page, products and services page, and a FAQs page, all of which remain unchanged for months at a time.
