A blog is a way to create websites easily. Blog-based websites are ALSO websites, guys, there's nothing dramatically different about blogs. Same rules apply -- good content? I'll be back. Bad content? Nice meeting ya. Most good websites that pass off as top blogs or whatnot could have been just that without a blogging software powering them. It's their purpose and activity that make them resonate. So try to explain blogs as something different or revolutionary and you'll hit the same walls. Blogging is still largely mistaken to be personal diaries, and it's the blogging community's overenthusiasm that has the sole responsibility for it. A blog is website creation made easy. End of story. Everything else is the same without a blog or with it. Explaining a “blog” is difficult because people try to make too much of it. A blog is a way to create websites easily.

Heck, my boss a month ago said, "we need to get a blog" and me and another developer just kinda looked at each other like, "uh, welcome to 2005", its nothing new. Explaining a blog to my father is a hopeless cause. He struggles with getting images from his digital camera let alone use a blog.
