The job of a blogger isn't what many people think. A blog is similar to a website, but it has subtle differences that matter greatly to readers. I believe these differences are the key to a blog’s success compared to a traditional website.
A website is difficult to update daily for someone who has other obligations besides content creation, not to mention frequent design changes. To remain dynamic in a vast and competitive online environment, a website requires regular updates and alternative information. Achieving this demands careful planning over months and often programming skills to find cost-effective solutions. The best results usually come from the combined effort of a team.
In contrast, a blog allows for easier experimentation with both design and content. Blogs often encourage a more relaxed style and readers are more forgiving of mistakes in posts or design, provided the content is genuine and accurate. This is partly because blogs are often not driven by financial gain. Consequently, readers respond differently to a blogger without economic motives compared to someone writing primarily for income.
Despite the relaxed nature of blogs, publishing content always requires responsibility. A blogger must maintain honesty, accuracy and respect for the audience while expressing their unique voice.
