What is the difference between a blog and a forum or thread?

I always thought it was the same thing. Can some one explain the difference. Thanks

A blog is like somebody’s own personal webpage or web log, but they usually do allow others to comment. A thread is just a post in a forum but it is sometimes like a blog, in some cases virtually the same, but a forum is more of a community and contains many different posts/threads and isn’t just orientated around the content that just one person creates. I hope that helps, but I know what you mean in many cases they are very similar.

Thanks, That makes sense.
