User blog comment:Zapwire/Wikia's new "features" are bugs/@comment-20644-20091024031102

Blogs serve a purpose only on certain wikis. On Wookieepedia, for example, having blogs would be absurd. On other wikis like Star Wars Fanon, for example, I use blogs extensively to announce content releases for my fan fiction work and to discuss behind the scenes things that can be used in sourcing articles about my fan fiction (sourcing on SWF is optional; I choose to do it).

When it comes to blog, I basically see it as being useless on purely encyclopedic wikis like Wookieepedia but very worthwhile on fanon wikis like Star Wars Fanon.
