Introduction
7. “▰The term "weblog" was coined by john Barger on December
17, 1997. The short form, "blog", was coined by Peter
merholz , who jokingly broke the word weblog into the
phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in
April or May 1999.Shortly thereafter, Evan Williams at Pyra
Labs used "blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog",
meaning "to edit one's weblog or to post to one's weblog")
and devised the term "blogger" in connection with Pyra
Labs‘ Blogger product, leading to the popularization of the
terms.[13]

11. Difference Between Blogs & Articles
▰ A blog post is published within a blog on a website while an article is
published anywhere else, including newspapers, magazines and
other traditional paper style media (including the online versions
like Times of India, Hindustan Times, Amar Ujala etc.
▰ Blog posts are actually a new form of writing while articles have been around for
hundreds of years.
▰ Blog posts are posted in reverse chronological order (most recent first)
while articles are time stamped on their publication date and not in a particular order.
▰ A blog post is usually written from a personal perspective based on opinion, can
include facts or information however it is based on experience and includes more
personality. An article is typically written to convey facts, information, news and
unbiased perspective.

12. Continued….
▰ The length of a blog post is generally much smaller than an article, starting at anywhere
from 250 words (often a snippet of another writing and links to the full article) to 5000
words (not usual). An article is often much more in-depth and starting at the 2500 word
range exploring every facet of the topic with no real objective for linking.
▰ The purpose of a blog post is to create authority status, lead generation and build SEO
ranking, by including many links, internal and external and to create an objective to
keep a visitor on a site for as long as possible by frog hopping them around post to post
or to lead generation landing pages and even products. An article’s objective is to
provide the topics information in full description with little to no actionable objective.
▰ The language of a blog post is informal and can include more personality and even
slang, while an article is read in a more formal manner.
▰ The structure of a blog post is very flexible, with short sentences, fragmented sentences,
many dot-dot-dot’s and even exclamation marks to emphasize reader exaggeration
and interest. Articles tend to be less dramatic and much more proper grammar.
