    mainstream PC help related - forum or blog????

    ok, I'm starting a my first mainstream project

    basically a site where people ask PC related questions/state their problems and other people answer them - that'd be forum

    or blog - where I do basically the same but in the form of small articles, e.g.:

    how do i stop my computer from beeping - and I write the solution
    desktop computer keeps shutting off randomly - list possible causes + solutions
    and so on

    which one is better??? I'm talking really long term - I want to grow the site really huge, and I know it's going to take time but I'm prepared to wait and grow it and water it every day

    so, blog or forum??? and why

    thanks

      I think a blog would be best since you dont have to worry about populating the forum and can start creating content for it asap.

          I think you might be right, it's easier to start a blog, and when I get some decent traffic to it then I can open a forum too

              You're picking an area with a shitload of competition from well established sites.

                          Why not do a blog where you allow people to submit questions to you via a custom submit form, and then you answer them in the form of tutorials or articles?
