user7394: I just started using Arduino and so far I've used both delay() and delayMicroseconds(). I was wondering what the difference between these two is, because it seems to me that they're the same.

user368: From the documentation:

delay()
Description
Pauses the program for the amount of time (in miliseconds) specified as parameter. (There are 1000 milliseconds in a second.) 

So... milliseconds vs. microseconds.
