What's the difference between a Blog and a Forum post?

Blogs and Forums are often found on the web, but what's the difference between the two and which one should I use?

• Blogs should be used more for a place to tell your personal story or share information that you think is important, sort of a personal journal. Blogs do allow comments; however, the comments should be about the original post not necessarily a discussion thread.
• The forums should be used when you are either asking a question or wanting to start a discussion thread with other riders. This is a more appropriate back and forth format, which encourages short replies.
