SWANS ARE THE WAY FORWARD !!!!

When given the topic of 'rugby' to research, because I am not a rugby fan, I was a bit concerned about how interested I would be researching it. I decided to make my own concept up of rugby to encourage me to look at rugby in a different light. I would love to see the Swansea rugby players dressed up as actual Swans. I think this would make rugby interesting to watch and maybe I would give it a try then !!

Similarities and differences between a blog and a regular website

I was given the topic of 'rugby' to research the differences and similarities of a rugby blog compared to a rugby website. I hate rugby with a passion so as you can imagine this was thrilling. Yet I am a big Swansea City football fan, therefore decided to research Swansea Rugby (although they will never match up to Swansea City football club), oh well here goes.........

The blog I found is http://totalflanker.blogspot.co.uk/


The website I found is http://www.swansearfc.co.uk/home.aspx


DIFFERENCES:

• Blogs are updated more frequently than websites are as websites usually contain information that does not change often, therefore does not need updating often.
• When new entries/comments are added on a Blog, the old entries/comments are left for viewers to see, whereas if there are new entries/comments added on a website, then the old entries/comments are removed.
• On a website, if there is a new entry or update then the whole layout of the website is altered.
• A blog is used generally for communication/views and comments as opposed to a website which is used for delivering information.
• The layout is different on a blog as it usually consists of pages of writing rather than subtitles with pictures and categories.

SIMILARITIES

• Both are used for information purposes. Although one is more information based and the other is more opinion, they are still used for knowledge purposes. 
• Both have pictures on their page
• Both have sponsors on their page
• Both have links on their page
