Is there a difference between a blog or a discussion on MC? And how do you setup a blog?

[Tech John]

Discussions on MC are set up as an electronic bulletin board or message board. A topic can be posted with a message for other members to then read and post their own comments on.

There is no built in feature for blogs in MC, though a custom page could certainly be set up for one. Blogs, in the generic sense, are simply online journals. One person does more extensive writing on a subject for each posting. While others may often leave comments on what the blogger has posted; the focus in most blogs is on what the blog writer has written.

Therefore, in a generic sense, discussions are really meant to be two-sided interactive pages; a blog is more focused on the thoughts of the blog author, less on the response of those who may leave comments.
