Forum vs Blog

What's the difference? Are forums for shorter messages? Why would a blog be better? Thanks for the help and pardon the cyber-ignorance!

Blogs are for posts in which you just want to express something to limited people, a small audience. They're especially good for rants in which you just want to rant, and you don't want someone to come argue with you about your own rant.

Forum posts are for things on which you want public opinion. The responses you receive will be varied. So if you're looking to have your feelings validated, don't post on the forums.

Choose your Blog when you want to say EXACTLY what you want, be TOTALLY honest and Frank and OFF Weight Topics. If you have something controversial to say...YOU can CONTROL the Responses to it, the Moderators will NOT get You, and You can VENT at will! Blogs are way better than the Forums for Venting...but MANY people won't use it for that because THEY need an Audience.
