Dilemma regarding choosing website or blog
-
I basically intend to write pieces or articles on several sports, but with major focus on motorsports. These articles will be about what is currently happening in the sport, pieces covering statistics, opinion articles, etc. What has been bugging me is that should i go ahead with a blog or a website? Which of the two formats will suit the content i intend to publish?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
