I don't have a blog and never really used on. I guess I'm confused how a blog differs from an forum. Anandtech is a fourm while a blog states it's:

"is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order"

That is almost like a forum though right (like anandtech). So I guess I'm confused what the difference between the two are. Is a blog more of a diary of a person or does a blog differ because one can post more types of media (i.e. mp3, video, jpg).

I'm asking a serious question if you can't answer it then don't post anything.

We can answer it. That doesn't mean we will.

A blog is in essence a monologue.

Lmfao. And you're still in OT? Don't be such a whiner, buddy. Don't come to ATOT to ask serious questions because (alas, as you've discovered), you won't get serious effing answers :D

You're giving OT too much credit. Someone is bound to chime in with an answer.

Forums still have members and usually allow anyone to create topics. Most blogs don't allow that even if they do allow comments.

This is pretty much what i was asking. I never did a blog so therefore I don't know. But I had an idea this was to be the answer.

Thank You
