If you have a normal website, you have to submit your updated pages manually to search engines.
If you have a blog, you can program it to "ping" (submit new posts) automatically.
If you have a normal website, your readers have to subscribe to an email address to receive updates that you send out manually through email.
If you have a blog, your readers can subscribe to your RSS feeds and are always updated without you having to do anything extra.
This is the explanation in its most basic sense.
