First, let’s clear the air.  A blog is a web site.  But a blog offers a bit more than the traditional form of a web site.  It gives you the ability to maintain from anywhere there is web access.  If I get inspired (for writing, etc.) and I am at the library, I can log into my blog and make updates.  With the traditional site, you would need some kind of web software and download the original, make changes and then upload again.  This doesn’t happen with a blog.  You just log in and you are good to go.

This same advantage is true with the theme of the blog.  All I need to do is upload the design into the template area and then activate.  This holds true for plugins as well (which are mini programs that attach to your blog).  So overall, consider using a blogging framework for your next web site.
