Blogs are usually for personal use. Think of a blog like a diary.

A website is probably more towards providing a service.

It really depends on what your new site/blog is going to be about/

Nothing to stop you have a website with a blog.

Wordpress (wordpress.org for the software or wordpress.com for the hosted version) lets you create static pages as well as the blog styles so on a site I've created using it for a local charity the home page and most others are static pages and I've moved the blog-style bit to the news page where posts can be added and appear at the top.

I was going to PM you an example, but apparently you've exceed your quota of them

As robt inferred. A blog is a type of website or page within a website. And as Anthony2oo5 says all they are is just a personal diary (although can involve many people). There is no difference because one is a subset of the other. It's like asking for the difference between a newspaper and news or a car and a vehicle. One is simply one type of the other. Whether you want to build a blog or have a blog as part of your website completely depends on what your requirements actually are.
