How does a Blog differ from a Wiki?

Although a blog is a website that promote a knowledge of collaborative sharing, a blog is very much different from a wiki. A blog is an online webpage that is written from the perspective of one person. The blog owner is able to create a post or a discussion about a particular subject. As readers have the opportunity to comment on a specific subject, the blog owner is able to reply to their readers. A blog owner is the only person who can make changes to the web site. [1] For the most part, blogs can be one whole site or it can be embedded into an existing site.

On the other hand, a wiki is not a social media website, but it is a reference website that defines terms that people don't know. [2] A person can randomly write, change, or delete an article about a particular subject. In order to make the website work, it relies on the community to recognize each other's work by agreeing or disagreeing with each other.
