Johnny,
Now that you've made me think about it like that, blogs and threads aren't all that different. I'm not sure how the blog will be set up one this site but here's one difference I see. Blogs can sometimes be really personal, like a journal telling about your day to day activities, projects, thoughts, emotions, dreams and

Sorry, that's all I can come up with at the moment. If anyone else can think of something, pipe up.

Thanks, baobei. I wanted to say something earlier along the lines "you missed the point" but thought I'd leave you to answer.
I can see where one might think a blog is like a thread in that there might be some back and forth about a given topic. But I think in the true weblog sense, it goes beyond that.
It can be like a journal or diary entry, as personal or impersonal as you want to make it. The best blogs, in my opinion, are part journal, part commentary. They give you a glimpse into someone's life and perspective and encourage you to consider your own.
This group obvious knows who Wil Wheaton is. He's nearly as famous now for his blogging as he is for being Wesley. He's going through a low point now, it seems, but he's offered good stuff in the past and will again. Today he blogged that Paramount was trying to stiff him on TNG residuals. That never happens in my life, but he and I share a means of expression and that's something.
Read mine. I blog with three other people and it approaches threadiness at time. Other times it doesn't at all. There are other Browncoats who keep them. Get to know them and read what they write.
Blogging is what you make of it. It's usually something you're passionate about. I'm passionate about Firefly and would love to be part of an fff blog. I write about it as it is.
Does that help?

I have lived in Taiwan since 1989 . . . traffic is something to get used to . . . when we visited LA a year ago last Summer folks were often bitching about the traffic there and we thought is was wonderful! Just go to show you it's all perspective.
If you've never ridden in the passenger's seat of a Taipei Taxi then you haven't truly tasted the thrill of putting your mortality on the line . . . those guys are amazing. No other city compares.
As to blogging . . . I've been toying with the idea of starting one at my site as well http://phillips.personal.nccu.edu.tw/index.html
. . . there are a number of Taiwan-based blogs in English . . . some of which are actually entertaining . . . here are a few . . .

Not really much to do with Firefly . . . but there they are.

In the 1970s and then 1980s, “Made in Taiwan” became a global phenomenon, but economics shift over time Japan started to take over and a bubble burst and now
There is no denying the China growth

Communist Chingchong scary song is already inside Taiwan, they get more Left and Socialist and Pro-China and ChingChong scary socialist pharse will take it without firing a single shot as they took Portuguese land back and British land back. Tricky Dick seen Russia as the aggressor so Nixon told them they are China many years ago and long before this Dutch, Portuguese and British moved Mainland Chinese there to replace the aboriginal person of Taiwan.
