If you're posting a blog post you'll note that the formatting tools are now much more powerful, allowing for WYSIWYG text and photo entry. No excuse for not having photos, videos and other eye candy! (Seriously, it's a very good idea to start your post with a relevent photo, which hugely increases click-through rates).

The same rich text authoring tools are available in the discussion forum.

This is a good moment to remind everyone about the difference between blog posts and discussion forum posts. Blogs are for information of broad community interest. The discussion forum is for questions, calls for help and n00b whimpers. The blogs are moderated, and we'll delete posts that are not appropriate before they're published. The discussion forum is not moderated before publication, but we may nuke spam or wildly off-topic posts if they show up.
