These would apply equally well to "Why I have a website". The purpose of a blog is to capture the time dimension of the writing. That makes sense if you're commenting on news items. Not as much if you're writing reference information, or sharing other information where grouping is the natural method of presentation.

In the pre-blog days, you could go to someone's site and navigate all the different parts. I prefer that to looking at a feed of hundreds of unrelated posts from the last ten years.

Yes! Somewhere along the lines people started seeing blogs as the default form of web presence. And blogs are ok, but they're usually poorly linked together websites.

I think the "digital garden" people are rediscovering the joys of having a regular website.
