Frequently Asked Questions - Questions about Blogs

Articles should be instructional or informational in nature, and geared toward improving the reader's understanding of some aspect of the writing craft, the publishing industry, or the writing lifestyle.

Blog posts can be about almost anything, and are usually more anecdotal than informational. Blogs usually convey personal stories, and are more indicative of the author's personality than an article.

Generally speaking, if you have any doubt as to whether an item should be a blog post or an article, you should probably make it a blog post.
