Actually you are wrong, to a point. The demand for programmers and coders is huge and on the rise as our lives move from the physical to the virtual. Web programming, design, and all related industries are booming.

For users, access to code will drop as interfaces improve, so you are right on that. Thanks.

I think coding is going to die out in the next few years as wordpress and other methods become more dominant for their ease of use..

I’m not sure what you think the difference is between a website and a blog, but a blog features content in reverse chronological order, if set up that way. A website is any site on the web. A static style website (or blog) is one that has a static style front page, sometimes referred to incorrectly as a Splash Page (that’s a “click to enter” dumb design thing), and the blog is a click away.

If you are publishing anything on the web, you are publishing on a website. Facebook is a website. Twitter is a website, though you use mobile and third party apps to access both, in theory, they are still websites. Every page published on the web is a web page. So a blog consists of web pages and is a website, it just handles content in reverse chronology.

Hi, Lorelle! Your post just goes to show that blogs and websites are rapidly meshing against each other’s separate boundaries. I have a blog and I want to make a transition towards making it an actual website… is this possible? It’s still so confusing to me.

Page Rank was stopped and removed by Google over a year ago. What is also dead is abusing comments with spammy names and links.

Thanks for the advice, what’s your comment on Pageranking though, is it dead as well?

Dofollow is dead. As is nofollow. So worry about other SEO issues cuz those never mattered and continue to do nothing.

Well, I know mine is a blog, wish it could be dofollow blog, I heard that dofollow blogs get more traffic, but also more spam as well

It’s interesting to see how the web is evolving from static pages, to blogs, to combinations of both. I wonder what the web will look like in a few years as social media adds yet another aspect of the web. Good comparison chart.

WordPress is indeed quite easy to create a website with, even without php knowledge
