Can someone explain why I should be using the blog module for a news section? I went through the tutorials last month and creating a news section with all the bells and whistles seemed pretty straight forward, now I keep reading that the blog module is a better choice. Is this because the work (RSS feed, date/author, etc...) is already done or is there another reason? I know I saw a post somewhere explaining this but I can't find it. I think it might have had something to do with searching for articles/posts, but I've looked at so many threads that it's all kind of vague at this point.

Thanks!
