What is the difference between an article and a blog post?

I feel that this is a relevant question. I personally sometimes use the words "article" and "blog post" interchangeably and without thinking, but there is a difference. I found a blog post on SocialMediaToday by Betsy Kent back from August 9,2014 about this very topic. She said regarding the definition of an article "If your business is highly affected by changes in laws or the latest research, and if it is necessary for your clients (customers, patients, etc.) to obtain the most up-to-date information quickly, then posting articles on your site is an excellent choice". She continued on discussing the difference referring to blog posting by saying "If your goals include better visibility on Search Engines, an increase in your stature as a thought leader in your field, and building a relationship with readers, you're better off blogging." Hopefully this answers your question.
