A vlog is a video blog. I think, anyway.

Why? are you thinking of setting up a bog/vlog? Please say you are....;-)

[royfromaus]

Blog is written. Vlog is video.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Not quite -I could write a column in a newspaper and it would not be a blog. A Blog is an on line diary containing text and pictures. A Vlog is an on line diary using mainly video and spoken word.

blog is short for weblog (ie web+log), so it's published online; vlog has added video content.

A blog and a vlog differ primarily in their medium and content presentation:

Medium:Blog: A blog is primarily text-based. It is a website or a section of a website where written content, often accompanied by images and infographics, is posted. Blog posts can cover a wide range of topics and are typically updated regularly.

Vlog: A vlog (video blog) is video-based. It is a type of blog where the content is presented through video rather than text. Vlogs are often posted on video-sharing platforms like YouTube, but they can also be embedded in blogs and other websites.

Content Presentation:Blog: Content is presented in written format, often structured with headings, paragraphs, and sometimes lists or bullet points. It allows for in-depth explanations and is easily searchable.

Vlog: Content is presented through video, which can include talking directly to the camera, showcasing activities, interviews, tutorials, and more. Vlogs are more dynamic and can convey tone and emotion more effectively through visual and audio elements.

Engagement Style:Blog: Readers engage by reading the content and may leave comments or share the post. Blogs often contain links to other resources, related posts, or external sites.

Vlog: Viewers engage by watching the video, liking, commenting, and sharing. Vlogs can also include links in the video description and encourage direct interaction through live comments if streamed live.

Time Investment:Blog: Writing a blog post can be time-consuming due to research, writing, and editing. However, it can be consumed at the reader's own pace.Vlog: Creating a vlog involves planning, filming, editing, and sometimes adding special effects or music. Watching a vlog requires viewers to set aside time to watch the entire video.

Accessibility:Blog: Accessible to readers who prefer or need to read content, such as in noisy environments or for those with hearing impairments. Blogs are also more accessible to search engines through SEO (Search Engine Optimization).Vlog: Accessible to viewers who prefer visual and auditory content. Vlogs can be more engaging for those who find videos more appealing than reading.

In summary, the choice between a blog and a vlog depends on the content creator's strengths and the audience's preferences. Blogs are better for detailed, searchable written content, while vlogs offer a more dynamic and engaging visual experience.
