Posted by raisingtwins @raisingtwins, Sep 9 5:23am

What's the difference between a blog & a discussion? I'm a newbie here & this is my 1st post.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Just Want to Talk Support Group.

Hi @raisingtwins, I can help.
Mayo Clinic Connect is divided in 3 main parts:
1. Support Groups https://connect.mayoclinic.org/groups/
2. Blogs https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blogs/
3. Events https://connect.mayoclinic.org/events/

Support Groups are the main area. Choose a support group that matches the health issue or condition you're interested in, for example Sleep Health (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/sleep-health/)
Now you will see a list of Discussions.
Discussions are topics that people start to ask a question and people write comments in reply.
You can use search to find discussions on a topic.

Blogs are articles written by Mayo Clinic experts.

Events are Zoom support group meetings, patient conferences, etc hosted by Mayo Clinic.

Sometimes members refer to the entire site as a blog, forum, message board, borad or other terms,
