What is a form(in terms of html) and how do I use them to make a user generated blog?
I have a domain, mySQL database, and wordpress installed.
If you already have wordpress installed, I'd use that for your blog.
Why re-invent the wheel.
If you are completely new to running a wordpress blog I suggest you read a primer. There are many freely available - http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=wordpress%20primer
As for "What is a form?"
A form is created on a web page with the form tag. Inside the form tag you can have any number of tags to collect information from the visitor, along with buttons (which could, for example, be labeled "submit" and "cancel"). The form tag has an action attribute that allows you to specify the web resource - usually a script (often written in php), that will process the data entered on the form when it is submitted.
