St. Petersburg Web Design Blog

Is all the difference between a blog and a Content Management System all just relative? Is it a matter of how a site is authored and maintained? Is it just a matter of which software you used to build the framework of the site in question? Is it a matter of how the content on the site is diplayed?

Some things blogs seems to have in common:

• They display content posts (or articles) in a chronological order
• They have some very nice graphical themes
• Since they do less than CMS’s, they are easier to operate

Content Management Systems on the other hand:

• Display content in numerous “blocks”
• Are more likely to fill the whole page
• Do far more things than just publish articles and links
• Sometimes can be downright ugly
• Because of there ability to do so much more, they are usually more difficult to operate and setup.

Here’s some examples:

• Blogs:
  • St Petersburg Web Design News Blog
  • Florida Red Tide Coalition
• Content Management Systems
  • Photo Sharing Center
  • Real Estate Listing Site

Please chip in and tell us all what you think the difference between a CMS and a blog is.
