Posting blues explored

I just discovered someone real made a comment! Thank you! That makes this a better than ordinary day in the blogging world.

One reason I haven't been posting much here is that it feels like I'm just throwing the words out there and they're probably not being read. Since I spend so much time on the forum where I know I'm read and get practically instant feedback sometimes, it's hard to drag myself over here. What can I say here that I haven't already said there?

Fellow bloggers, I'm curious. Do you have the same feeling? Or does it feel in some way worthwhile to put your words online where they may or may not be read, where they are terrifyingly public but likely to be ignored? What does a blog give us that a diary (for private and personal thoughts) or a forum (for broadcast and discussion with others) does not?
