LarryEA Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) The best I can explain a 'blog' is someone changed a couple letters and it stuck. It was supposed to be BLAH BLAH and ended up being BLOG BLOG and they thought one BLOG was enough. So lets have a conversation Edited February 29, 2020 by LarryEA Quote
new2woodwrk Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 The biggest difference is since a blog = binary log posters can put much more detail in a blog making them more of a long story rather than a short blurb. Where as when you post in the forums, the etiquette is to keep the posts short, concise and to the point as possible I know in my blog I put a lot more detail text in them then when I post in the forums. That way any of my followers or readers can get more information if they want it. Also, if I'm not mistaken you don't have to register to read the blogs, where as you have to register for the forums - I could be wrong about that not sure amazingkevin 1 Quote

You haven't screwed up - you're certainly allowed to "chat it up" where appropriate. I wouldn't worry about that small stuff and what we're discussing is small stuff, so chat away...

JimErn Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 Blog comes from the two words, binary and log. All computer data is transmitted as binary information, and people often write in log, ships log, event log, etc.. A blog is basically just journal you write in, you can restrict the comments, restrict the access or just let anyone read and post to it. You can also set up a blog as a help desk reference kind of thing if you get into the code somewhat, I have one set up that way. Roberta Moreton 1 Quote
Roberta Moreton Posted February 29, 2020 Report Posted February 29, 2020 I don’t write blogs but I do follow a few. Did you know that Steve Good’s newsletter that we get most days actually is part of a blog post? I find interesting information on blogs. Scrollsaw, cooking, home improvement etc. Quote
