Bah, I just don’t know where to draw the distinction between a blog and a forum. It seems to me that a blog should have things posted by one or a few people that are just thoughts or articles that will receive individual comments but not a particular thread of discussion, whereas a forum is for talking, “chatting,” just for visitors to discuss things by posting questions or thoughts. So it seems clear that in the case of The MikeCam, since it is really about me and I will (theoretically) be posting elaborated thoughts on a regular basis, that I should use the blog except for small questions or notes or thoughts that I’m actively looking for responses from. At the same time, since most visitors will post less frequently or at least less relevantly (since the site is not about them), they are all consigned to the forums (forum or forums?).
The problem comes in with some of my posts: the brief “site news” posts I make? Little topics? Uh.. I dunno, I got distracted and can’t remember what the problems were. I’ll come back to this. Also, should my geek stuff be in a separate blog like it is or just categories under a single blog?

I need to build some sort of forum for my company, and we already have a Blog in one of our department. I wonder if is the same thing with different name and purpose.
