HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM A BLOG:
 A blog tends to reflect the opinions of an author, while wiki is more open
to the users or subscribers.
 In blog the entries are displayed in reverse chronological order.
 The blog valued the latest empherical headlines and instant reactions
from commentators, where as wiki values the permanent knowledge
although wiki entries could be edited and improved over and over.
 In a blog the content posted by the user or author can not be edited it can
only be commented. In wiki the content posted can be edited improved
and commented.
 Shortly a blog is for latest news and wiki is for content that may be old but
still good.
