Grammar
Pls explain
website updating & updating website
What's the difference between both? My guess is the former one is the action itself and the latter one is focused on the content of the website. Right?
Thx

The first is a good noun phrase, Qut, and makes independent sense: Website updating is an important responsibility of the site administrator . The second is not complete, and needs to be surrounded with grammar to be useable: Updating a website is time-consuming. (nonfinite clause as subject) She is updating her website now.
