• A blog is similar to a wiki in regards to the content it can display, however where a wiki can be edited by anyone with access to it, a blog can only be edited by the individual who created it.
  
  
  

• Visually, a blog can range from a simple text document to a rich media experience.  An easy to navigate toolbar allows you a range of options - from text formatting to the inclusion of links, images and even external documents and video.  
  The tools used to edit a Jam blog, wiki and discussion are actually identical, so you only need to learn to use one set of tools for all three functions.
  

• Similar to the wiki, a blog can be used for just about anything.  Any piece of static information you'd like to broadcast to others can be conveyed in a blog – the possibilities are nearly endless!
  
  For instance:

• Company Newsletter/Announcements
• New Hire/Onboarding Information
• Project Notes/Project Post Mortems
• Company or Department Documentation and Operation Manuals
• FAQs
• Job Descriptions
• IT Network Instructions
• Company/Product Best Practices
• And many, many more.
