New Blog in Old Skin

Is it a message board?Is it a forum? Is it a blog? Well, I guess it's all of them now. It seems that all this social networking stuff is converging anyway, so why not have our blogs in the same community space as our forums, and make it that much easier for users of our forums to rate and comment on our blogs.

We just upgraded the forums and added blogs. And we moved our existing blog content to this new blog. Or blogs. Well, for the forums, you shouldn’t notice anything too radically different (if so, please let me know!).
Tag clouds are also now supported which we hope will make it easier to navigate to topics about which you want to read more. We're working on the tag list presentation. Sometimes it's showing up as a bullet list and sometimes as a tag cloud.
I prefer the cloud myself. Let us know what you think of the new blogs, and the new forums too.
