good websites to post your writing?

Hi, I'm new to all this serious cyber-surfing, and I was wondering whether Shroomers, with all their wonderful trip reports, knew of any good websites where you can post your writing and discuss, kind of like a forum I guess.
Random question: whats the difference between a forum, a message board, and a blog?

Well, first of all, cross-posting is looked down upon. If you aren't sure what cross-posting is, it's what you just did: posting the same question in multiple places to get more answers/replies. Just find the best area for your question and ask it once.
Second, a forum = a message board. A blog is a journal that other people can comment on. It's short for "weblog".

sorry about the cross-posting. i'm just in one of those eager moods for a response. i'm not entirely used to the subtle etiquettes of forum posting.

This is a good place to post your writing, by the way. Not that many people will read it, but it's a good place for it.

I haven't been to any of them in a while, but I'm sure you can Google up some pretty good writing websites. The bigger ones all have lots of users looking to give and receive criticism.
Start at www.about.com if you have no ideas.

How about www.poets.org? There you can register and post your poetry for free, and people will critique it.

Just search for literature, cliterature or clit. Youll find plenty stuff of interest.
