Blog, article, or news?

I'm satisfied to say I've once submitted a legitimate news article to chess.com about the ongoing correspondence match between Greg Chamitoff and Stevenson Elementary School; first I posted it as a blog but then deleted that blog post and made it a news story.

I made it a new story because I realized I was giving "chess event coverage" through the article by updating people about what's going on in the game.

Now I'm thinking about regularly posting on my chess.com blog, but what should make me want to post something as a blog rather than an article or news post?  Let's say I create a tactical puzzle with analysis given after it; why should I post that as a blog rather than an article and vice versa?

What's the purpose of chess.com blogs if - presuming they're all somewhat chess related - the chess article submission may render the blogs useless?

Please, I'd like to hear the community's insight on this topic.

*Note this is from a old blog post of mine that was never responded to by anyone.

I think articles should be for high-level submissions only, like in a good chess magazine.

this is one of the hardest things for us to manage. it's a perfect example of the issue. we will eventually re-do everything so that they are all the same - blog posts belonging to one person, but they can be flagged as articles or news if they are worthy of that.

we will work on this eventually :(

Thank you erik for the response.  I'm glad to hear you all are aware of this issue.
