I think the essentials that make a blog different than a Web journal or simple news site is the entries being shown in reverse chronological order with a focus on one to many communication.
> What makes blogfusion a blog if a simple CMS is not?
Well, I think there is a VERY important distinction here... what is a blog and what is a blogging application/tool.
You can have a blog made with any tool (notepad, CF Studio, Dreamweaver, HTMLlite, BlogFusion, Movable Type, or anything else). And then you can have blogging *tools*. BlogFusion, Movable Type, and others are blogging tools, not blogs. They are tools that are used to *make* blogs. And blogging tools that are specifically created for making blogs are much like text editors that are specifically meant to help create HTML. Just because you CAN write HTML with Word doesn't make it an HTML creation tool like Dreamweaver.
Interesting discussion!
