What are the content types on this site? When and how do I use them?

There are several primary content types in use on this site. This is brief explanation of their purpose, how to create them and how to find/use them.

Blog?

Short for Web log, a blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Blog entries should be used for sharing your point of view about a particular subject. If you just want to point something out to your group, like an upcoming meeting that's already on the calendar, use a talk page associated with the appropriate group(s). To begin your blog, click on the Create content link under your login name, located on the left navigation panel under My Groups. Click on Blog entry?, create a title and write your entry. If you are like me and depend on spell check, you can write your entry in Word and copy and paste it into the blog entry field. Once your entry is complete, hit submit.

Book page

Same as a Wiki?. A collaborative document which is organized around a specific topic. Here on the TAC? site, we are creating our content and archival information using Book Pages.

Talk page

A forum for threaded discussion of a short lived topic. Can be about a Book Page.

Blog, wiki or book page?

I think I understand the difference between a blog? and wiki?. A blog is meant to post an idea and get feedback about that idea from others. A wiki is better used to update and revise a common document. (Is that accurate?) But I cannot figure out what a book page is and why I would use it. I would like to know more about a story page as well.
