A blog works similarly to a forum in that a user makes a post about something and people can comment on it. The main difference is that the whole of the post is shown on the main page and to view the comments you go to another page.

I tried making what FASherman is talking about a while ago but didn't get round to finishing it.

The thing is, by modifying the templates and applying a different style to one forum or category you can easily transform vB into another kind of software like a blog or an article system with comments etc. vBulletin is by design forum software but with a bit work it can easily become something else.
