What is the difference between a BLOG and any other web page?

I just don't understand

I have been reading about BLOGS, some info was that google gives them high PR for rich content, but what the heck is the difference between a BLOG and any other resourceful page? Do BLOGS have ****/blog.htm in their address? I feel like a 1st grader in a high school physics class when it comes to BLOGS. Could someone please help?

>google gives them high PR for rich content<

No, PR is gained from incoming links, not for content.

>difference between a BLOG and any other resourceful page?<

No real difference actually. A blog is basically a content management system that allows for the page or site to be updated easily.

>Do BLOGS have ****/blog.htm in their address?<

The vast majority don't.

Head over to blogger.com and set up an account(it's free and only takes a minute). It should become clear what blogs are all about once you've done that.

Thanks for the info. I went to bed with grandiose ideas about making a great blog and including info about my sites on it, as a way of getting better traffic. I woke up, checked out a bunch of blogs, and thought, "people actually read these?" Scrap that idea. Back to good old fashioned reciprocal linking!
