I'm  new to this site and still trying to figure things out.  What's the difference between a blog post and a forum post on here?  I know the difference in the real world, but what do we use the blog feature for on this particular site? It seems like it's the same as a forum post...

You'll get the hang of it by trial & error.  Below I listed how to get to one of my threads. It is so difficullt to tell people how to find it so I never bother,lol . I wanted to use it as an example though for you.
Go to Forum(just click on forum at the top), then you'll see subjects in light brown, see ENTERTAINMENT, under entertainment , click on Entertainment & Hobbies, then you will finally see one of my threads called "Quotes/sayings/poems" , click it on and Congratulations, you have arrived at my thread!
By the way, the original poster is me but this site deleted my acct. because of a hacker so I continued it with a new username along with a new profile.

Jenkneee, you are absolutely right about participation.  The forum doesn't seem to get much traffic.  Would be nice too see more participation.  Maybe I'm not looking at the right place on this site.  Navigation seems to be a bit clunky at times.

Hello :)
I feel that I posted my entries where they belong in the forum but I do believe people use a blog post as a way to get more attention since headlines tend to get somewhat lost in the forum.
As you may have seen already, the blog posts do get noticed more but they also tend to get ignored once they're on a second or third page.
One more observation. I welcome anyone to contribute to my threads but there has been almost zero participation by other members which I find disappointing but oh well!!
