Writing in a blog is (=) publishing on the web.
Why? Because, all the people authorized by you, can read what you write for free.
Normally, if you want to publish what you write you go to a publishing house. And the publishing house editor decides if what you write is good or crap.
Above all, he decides if the publishing house can SELL what you write. Because press publishing costs are very high, and the reading [paying] public very small...So he would pick Antonella Clerici's cooking recipes and send "La Coscienza di Zeno", back to our good old friend Italo [Svevo]! Regardless of the script value.
Alternatively, you could open a web-site, but web-sites are difficult to manage. You need a web-master and that costs, too. [Did you get that, Prof. Anastasio?]
Blogs allow you to publish for free and are very easy to manage. You can open as many as you like, and close them with a click!
