Read the link and it explains it. I blog via my hosting panel. The blog posts appear at the bottom of my forum via the plug in Skyon made.
Skyon can correct me if I’m wrong, but you need a hosting account like I have. From there you can add a wordpress blog. You can then have a link to your blog the same as I have. To have the latest blog posts appear as again I have, you need the plug in installed.
Skyon will explain it better than me I’m sure.

What is a blog? Wrote:A blog is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries. Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.
WordPress is the number one, go to, blogging software on the internet. It's even more impressive that you can take this software and create a full fledged website, even if you don't know how to code.
If you can type an email, you can make a page or post on WordPress. Install a theme and after a few tweaks, you have a website!
Example of a WordPress "website" is
https://rubiconhomeinspection.com/ or simply visit my website at
https://tierrahosting.com . . . both are built on WordPress.
Examples of WordPress blogs include
https://chrislema.com/blog/ and
https://www.kevinmuldoon.com/
Quote:WordPress is an online, open source website creation tool written in PHP. But in non-geek speak, it's probably the easiest and most powerful blogging and website content management system (or CMS) in existence today.
You can have a free WordPress blog via wordpress.com
Then, if you make pages or posts, your blog will have a RSS feed available with this content. My plugin takes that content and puts it onto the index page of your MyBB forum.
