What Classifies For A Blog

    I know this might sound strange, but I have been told that my site is blog, even thought the members and guests are the individuals posting.

    I have been told it's a blog from friends, family, investors, etc....

    This is where I am confused? Is my site a blog, or is it not a blog.

    Background: I own ConsumerTreehouse.com which is a consumer review website where all reviews are user-created and published, along the same lines as Wikipedia. All reviews on my site are 100% unbiased and unsolicited. Nothing is off limits with my site, you can reviews everything under the sun.

    Take a look around my site of you want too and let me know what you think.

    All the advice is appreciated.

    Thank you in advance

    It has a blog like appearance, but as the entries aren't organised by date I wouldn't class it as a blog. Something you might want to do is remove the interstitial ads - you'll offend your readers otherwise.

    It does look more like a site than a blog to me, but at the end of the day, all blogs are sites ;)

    Yep It is looking like a site not a blog by appearance but for clarification can you tell me what script you are using for your admin purposes.

    i can say it a site, but nicely done. all you have to do is to manage the categories list which looks somewhat awkward to me.
    Best of luck.
