NOTE

A common question is; what is the difference between a blog site and a community site? A community site is a site dedicated to threaded discussions on a variety of topics that are designed to facilitate interactive discussion between community members. A blog site is for posting entries that one person or a team has created. Although you might enable comments on posts, a blog site is designed to showcase opinions or posts from an individual or a team; whereas, a community site is designed to include all members in interactive social discussions.
