This entire website is an example of a blog website.

Feel free to click through the Pages, Categories, and Posts. This website was built while working through the easy to follow step by step training at Wealthy Affiliate.

A blog can have “static pages”. The “category” pages are also known as a blogroll because a “categories” page shows all of the “posts” connected to that “category”. A standalone post and static pages are known as blogs.

Here are some screen shots to show the difference between a “static page” and a “blog roll”.

The image above shows a drop down menu with
Wealthy Affiliate and Jaaxy. These two Static Pages are linked to the Parent Page “Legit Work From Home Businesses”.

A blog is the easiest and fastest way to get a Website up and running. Using WordPress Wealthy Affiliate walks YOU through exactly how to create a WordPress blog.

The word “blog” was created by truncating two words “web log” became “blog”. A blog can be a discussion or informational site. Blogs are made up of “posts”, “categories”, and “pages. There are a lot of different ways to organize a blog. Generally “posts” are categorized within the “categories”, then the “categories” within the “pages”.
