No, they're different, but they overlap a lot. A wiki just has 
pages and the tools to create, edit and admin them. A lot of them use regular files,
 some use databases to hold the text, but basically it's a collection of pages, 
any structure you have to create yourself. A blog is far more complicated with lots and 
lots of specialized tools and data structures to take care of articles, users, RSS feeds,
ads/banners etc.
