How do you add a blog section on your forum?

I have a form built on phpBB. The forum is in a directory whereas I use the homepage for a blog. The blog is built on WordPress. I have another forum built with SMF. publish blog posts on the forum but there is a blog category on the forum for blog posts. D you have a blog on your form? How do you add blogging functionality to your forum?

I’d leave the blog to be a blog and the forum to be a forum. Perhaps post a thread to link to new articles but just direct people via a link to the blog. You don’t want to duplicate things and make it complicated.

Agreed. Been thinking of setting up a blog, using an addon to make a bridge between XF and WP - but it would make duplicate content and make it more complicated too. Especially considering we have an Articles add on for blog posts.

When we were on ZetaBoards, blogs were a feature of the profile. Before blogs on the profile, I think we used an individual forum for people to post their blog-like topics. Not many options for integration when you use free software.
