Okay, now what is the difference between articles vs blogs and forums? I've seen several websites that show this for their navigation bar: Articles/Blogs/Forums.
I am trying to design a website. Need to understand the difference and how to setup them up as far as categories, subs and who can or can't post. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Difference between articles, blogs and forums?
A forum is whereby a question/issue is posed, and visitors to the site can respond and air their views.
Articles and blogs are different in that they do not neccesarily involve feedback, and can really be classed together. An article is a piece of writing on a aprticular topic, and can also be called a blog, so in that sense they are the same.
Forum is another issue altogether as it requires you to make it such that people can contribute their comments- whether it be about your article/blog or another topic altogether of your or their choosing.
Reply:Articles and blogs are essentially the same thing as has been mentioned, but in my mind the only difference is that an article is usually taken from a 'recognised source', a magazine, journal, newspaper, website attached to some a traditional media company (e.g. bbc.co.uk). I think a blog is the best way to define a citizen journalist from a professional one.
