What are blog posts for?

[Columbia]

I noticed that people were putting their mods into blog entries and all that, so I'm wondering what it is, since it's used so rarely.

Thanks in advance!

Blog posts are for whatever you want them to be used for. People use them for all sorts of things.

A downside is they are much less likely to be seen than threads. There is a section where new blogs appear, but it doesn't seem to be visited as much.

This might be advantageous to some people, you might be less likely to be accused of necroposting when it's a blog, not a thread being bumped.

It's a different format to threads, with a lot more focus on the first post. I've used it as a place to put stuff I might link or quote in threads.
