Well done. Keep up the good work.

They are looser because of all the rules that are placed on specific boards and they only fit the basic TOS. But even said their are a lot of basic rules on things like required doctrine (need to be not only "Christian" but Trinitarian, and agree with basic Nicene creed type doctrines), need to still be G rated in language etc.

I don't read them, but generally you would use the blog when you want to teach without discussion. While people can comment, they aren't generally intended to be discussion.

You could also use them to address common arguments for/against various topics that frequently come up on the forum, then you will have the information at your fingertips to either link or copy & paste.

That is how I use mine.

The blogs aren't restricted by any specific forum's Statements of Purpose, which makes it nice if you want to make statements and not have a debate. I've used it to "archive" some of my posts, as has been described above, but I also keep backups on Obsidian (a note-taking app).
