Traditional web pages and blogs have many differences.  In the beginning, traditional web pages were full of factual information, and most were used for research purposes.  I can remember using the Internet in high school for research, and it was a huge project because no one knew how to cite sources since the concept was very new.  Blogging, on the other hand, is mostly opinion; people who are giving their side of some sort of story.  It could be a scientist talking about global warming or a historian talking about the Holocaust.  I feel that the line between traditional web pages and blogs is now becoming blurred because no one seems to know if all the information on a website is accurate.  It takes a lot of confirmation from many different sources to ensure that it's truthful information.
