Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Just my little opinion, but the forums are conveniently arranged by topic. If you want a specific issue addressed you can place it under the appropriate topic. Blogs can be about anything. I don't think there's any hard and fast rules about when to use either. If I'm off base though, anyone feel free to correct me!

Do they cross reference. Am I missing some of the convo by just posting off of the home page?

I only read off of Recent Posts, and you'll see on the left hand column it lists blog entries & forum entries.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, no they do not cross reference. You must read from both sides. Blogs and Forums are separate from one another.

Thanks for the clarification!! If I understand correctly, on the days I'm looking to rant, rave, and vent I'd probably want to write a blog. If I'm feeling a bit more organized with my thoughts I go to the forums??
It's great to have this!!
