I'd created a Header Block for the blog a few days ago and this is what it says:
Due to popular demand the time has come to publish a blog for Lifesupporters.com. Lifesupporters blog will contain articles written more from a personal point of view instead of the factual based articles found on our Lifesupporters News Page.
As with stories published on the main page, all blog entries will be fed via RSS to our Discussion Forums. Should you wish to comment on any of the blog articles, simply register within our forums and join in the fun.
Thank you for being a Lifesupporter!
...so it looks like I was on the right track after all. All I'll do is keep the personal stuff out of the news as much as possible and keep it more factual based whereas the blog will contain more personal articles not based on fact as much as emotion.
Thanks for the input folks.
