Worry less, here is a simple difference between the three terms buddy 
:
A blog, which is a short form for “weblog,” is like an online journal where a blogger (the person writing) shares their thoughts and ideas in blog posts (individual articles) on a specific topic. These posts are usually listed with the newest appearing first, making it easy for one to follow!

Once more, a blog refers to a website that releases articles, also termed as “blog posts”.
Typically, the latest blog posts appear first on a blog’s main page, arranged in “reverse chronological order.”
While blog posts primarily comprise text, they may also incorporate visuals and various content formats such as videos and GIFs to enhance reader engagement.
Bloggers have the freedom to write about a wide range of topics. Successful blog topics span various categories, including personal finance, health and wellness, culinary delights, parenting, marketing, and more.

That’s a great breakdown of the core concepts.
Blogs have become such a versatile platform, it’s interesting to see how they’ve evolved beyond just written entries. Nowadays, you can find blogs with a heavy focus on multimedia content like videos and podcasts too.
Blogs are like digital bulletin boards, constantly updated with new posts.
The latest news and stories are pinned right at the top, like the freshest headlines in a newspaper.
It’s a fantastic way to stay informed and explore all sorts of interests
