I've seen several websites that offer both a forums and blogs. They allow their visitors to signup and post on both ends. What is the difference between the two? Should each section have their own different categories?

blogs are open to anyone to voice their own opinion on any topic....forums are specific to a topic/category.

A blog is like an online diary, or musings from a specific person who initiated the blog. Then they can have forums, to discuss topics of the day, or reponses to specific topics of the day. I'm not sure I've ever seen just a forum that wasn't attached to a blog or a website. My opinion is they DO have different categories, (like look at the forum on www.pinkisthenewblog.com and see what Mary Smith had to say about the Tom Cruise wedding" for example)

Blog often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. On the other hand, Forum is an online discussion group, where participants with common interests can exchange open messages.

a forum is more like a chat room where as a blog is more of just posting stuff up. or it could be the other way around i always get it mixed up.
