Seeing the difference between a personal website and a commercial web site is like looking at black and white. But the differences between blogs and personal websites is a little more subtle. Follow these steps to see if what you're looking at is a blog or website:
1. Type in the hyperlink or click on a link to get you to the page you are evaluating.
2. Look at the top of the page or on the sides for menus and links to other pages. The content is in the middle, but you will evaluate that later, if necessary.
3. Consider the menu items and page links. If a chronological list (i.e. August 2006, September 2006, October 2006, etc) appears, you are likely visiting a blog. This is the most common difference, and usually the easiest one to spot.
4. In considering the navigation tools, look for page links for "About Me" and "Links". These items are typical of both types of web sites, but are more commonly found as links on personal web sites. Blogs feature these items as a list on the sides of the main page.
5. Consider the content. If the main page contains several entries that are dated and appear to be unrelated, or at least related by a common theme but different each time, it is most likely a blog. Personal websites tend to provide links to other parts of a website and content is categorized by subject, not time.
