How+does+a+blog+differ+from+a+normal+website

Take a few minutes with the people around you (or alone!) to check out four or five of the following websites (some of which are blogs):


 * [|Google News]
 * [|Teach and Learn Online]
 * [|MicroSoft.com]
 * [|The Sydney Morning Herald]
 * [|The Guardian's UK Election coverage]
 * [|Ms. Frizzle]
 * [|Wikipedia - the free Encyclopedia]
 * [|Vic Cherikoff on Australian Cuisine]
 * [|LiveAndLetLearn]


 * Note:** When you're clicking on these links, a handy trick to know is the right-click: rather than just clicking on each link (which would load the new page over the top of this page), you can use the right-mouse-button to click on the link, and then choose "open in new window"... give it a go!
