Log on to a site / Log in on a site? What's a difference?
Teachers, is there any difference between these two expressions?:
Log on to a site / Log in on a site
Don't they mean the same?
Log on to a site / Log in on a site
Don't they mean the same?

I personally do not see any difference. In both cases, I would expect that I have an ID and a password. I suppose, I think of it as "in the site" or "on the page," so perhaps "log in"?

- But really, both seem fine.
- To my ears, anyway.

"Log in to a site" has always been more commonly used as far as I'm aware, but being a fairly new term in common usage perhaps, it's still finding it's feet. As in "log in" and "log out". Although they're often seen as in single word form as "login" and "logout" as well. Sorry if this comment is confusing - typing it quickly on my way out of work.
