This is the third and final part in my series on building community around your blog. In part one, we discussed the community you have by default and, in part two, we touched on community building outside of your own site.

For part two in my series on building community around your blog, I want to talk about community decentralized &#8211; or community that is built on websites that you do not own or control. In the first part, we discussed community that you have by default upon launching your blog.
This relates directly [...]]]></description>

Pretty much every active, moderately read blog is a community. Most large blogs are large communities. In fact, forget the word blog, look at online publications in general. If they have traction, they have community. Even if they don&#8217;t have strong community features, a community manager or any of those things.
Don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

It has always been about community. It didn&#8217;t become about community with the popularization of the internet and social media. It&#8217;s easier to build community and it&#8217;s easier for everyone to have a voice, but that&#8217;s not the invention of community.
No, community has always been there. Community isn&#8217;t a choice. It was [...]]]></description>

Once in a while, I&#8217;ll talk to someone who works for a company that runs a remotely hosted forum solution. Sometimes they call themselves more than that, such as a social network, etc., but their core is usually formed around the discussion area of their platform.

One question I get asked a lot goes something along the lines of &#8220;how will forums keep up with [something]?&#8221; or &#8220;forums are old hat, why would people use them over [something]?&#8221; or &#8220;why use forums when you can use [something]?&#8221; However will forums survive?
