Blogs are personal writing projects that usually is made up posts where the writer can write about anything. Traditional essay writing is more limited to a certain topic and based more upon information than the personal opinion of the writer. In blog writing the writer can write more freely than in traditional essay writing. In blog writing, it tends to be more conversational to the audience. The blogger is not worried so much about the grammar as they are in connecting with the reader. In blog writing, there is no need to use paragraphs. The blogger can use abbreviations or their own dialogue. In blogs there is no MLA format, or Work Cited page, making it less formal. When you’re working on a blog, it’s normally a group effort, as in traditional essay writing it’s an individual project. Blogging is not towards a specific audience as traditional essays are.
Traditional essay writing is more formal and directed towards an argument you have on a specific topic. Essay writing is writing to please one set of readers instead of a broad set of audiences. Traditional writing always has a specific format to follow, and the writer has to worry about proper punctuation and grammar usage.
