I know there is a thread discussing forums vs. blogs but what about adding a blog to a forum? Do you think it would be good to add a blog to an already existing forum? Why or why not?

I know there is a thread discussing forums vs. blogs but what about adding a blog to a forum? Do you think it would be good to add a blog to an already existing forum? Why or why not? We, as a team, have actually been discussing this option with PromoForum. Adding a blog to a forum takes a lot of work and dedication. Not to mention, you have to have a main focus on the forum especially if there isn't a lot of interest in the blog. That being said, blogs for forums can work and have in the past. I think it's a personal preference to be honest. It depends on the forum owner and his/her staff and how strongly they feel it would benefit their site. |

I think it would be a good idea if you were a site like promoforum, etc. You shouldn't make the blog your #1 priority but you shouldn't forget about it either. If you can give equal attention to the blog and the forum, I think it would be a good idea.

Eh, depends how much content you would add to it. Personally, I think everything that can be added to the blog can be added to the forum as thread, so I really don't see the reason to have both unless you're a corporate company or something. Posting what you would on the blog on the forum would give you more content for members to participate in, so I think it's a win win.  |

Blogs can be helpful but only for certain types of forums. You can't just add a blog on any forum, that might lead you to adding something that is useless to your community. A forum about cooking with a blog is a good thing, you can have the best recipes and tricks on the blog while people discuss those in the forum.
