BLOG vs. CMS - Whats the difference???

Filed under: My Experiences

A blog is a web-based software that allows users to create web pages through a web interface - you enter text into an HTML form and that text is placed into pages.

… The pages that you add to a blog, are date ordered and (are typically) stored in an SQL database .. like MySQL for example.

Blogs have been created with several languages: PHP, Perl, Python etc. Wordpress for example, is written in PHP.

… Actually, PHP is probably the most commonly used language for building blog and CMS software.

 

In a nutshell: a CMS does everything a blog does … and a whole lot more.

Blogs are typically designed for one or two people to use. Whereas a CMS is designed to handle communities.

Blogs = few contributors/writers
CMS = many contributors/writers.

CMS software will have a lot more capability in terms of what kind of activities you can do with it:

  • User polling.
  • Built in blogs.
  • Built in Forums.
  • Configurable, precise control over what users can do.

.. And much more.

All this extra functionality comes with a cost: CMS software is more complex to learn and use. I have also found that CMS softwares tends to run slower than their nimble cousins - blogs.

 

Well, i just copy and paste this article from the given site below…emoticon  thanks for reading.
