I want to define CMS because I think a lot of people think that a Content Management System and a Blog are two different entities. What Wikipedia has as a definition of CMS:
A content management system (CMS) is a computer application used to create, edit, manage, search and publish various kinds of digital media and electronic text.[1]
Whereas Wikipedia defines blog as the following:
A blog (a contraction of the term weblog) is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. ‘Blog’ can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
So in reality a Content Management System is a way of managing content and a Blog is a way of using a CMS. This will be important as we move forward with this comparo.

I think it’d be more accurate to say that a blog is just a specific type of content (just one example of those “various kinds of….electronic text”).
So any blogging tool is a CMS in that it manages content, the content just happens to be a blog.

A blog is the actual content not the tool for creating it.
For me a blogging tool allows only one stream of content. A CMS allows multiple streams in different sections or categories.

Tim I agree with your single vs multiple streams of content.
Boyink, spot on.

A blogging tool is just a special purpose, single focus CMS.
Single stream vs multi-stream seems to describe it I guess.

In both CMS systems and blog we can change the content as per our wish and requirements. But both are extremely different in term of designing, handling and complexity

OK so all kidding aside YAML is probably my favorite CSS Framework of all time!
I have not, in the past, been a big fan of CSS Frameworks. I did an analysis of 4 or 5 of them about a year ago for our internal usage. I found them to be massive and
