What's a blog, and how do you make one?

When I click on the "blogs" section under the community tab, it would take me to an alternate page that says that the link isn't working or the page doesn't exist. Something like that.

I just joined not too long ago, so is this a result of the website going down? Or something like that?

Were blogs a thing before? And what are they for?

Thanks!

I want to get off, but I keep riding the ride
I never really noticed that I had to decide

Blogs exist on MAL since at least my registration. They're here for you to publish some stuff, whatever you want, but kind of an extension to your profile if you're kinda popular or just wanna share with friends. Sometimes people use it as a place to put reviews on series or publish their art or else.

You basically just came in at a bad time. MAL has been partly broken for several months. It should be up next week. You did miss the power users feature and the feature where you can see who favourited specific anime/manga/characters/people, though.

Blogs are a place when where you can post whatever comes into your mind not sure what rules govern what post in your blogs but the idea is simple.

Forums have subforums which specify a certain topic which means the posts you make to certain subforums need to be related to that subforum.

Same goes for clubs where each club is mainly concerned about a certain topic. That means you can't go around posting on random topics.

The rules concerning what you post in a blog, who has access to your posts e.t.c are a lot more relaxed.
Talk is cheap, show me the code.

Almost is not good enough.
