Let me try again.
We have a bunch of different article "types": Article, Technical Blog, Tip and Video. We suck in the blog postings of members, create them as articles, and mark them as Technical Blogs in order to give the readers a hint that the formatting and layout may be a little odd because it was sucked in from someone's blog feed. "Like" buttons, potentially broken images, references to other blog posts, odd colours in code colourisation etc may be included and may look a little odd, so my hope is that the "Technical Blog" label will allow readers to forgive small transgressions.
But these Technical Blog articles are still articles.
If you create an alternative to a blog article then you're not creating something sucked in from an XML feed. You won't (I hope) include weirdness. Further, and most importantly, your alternative was never posted as a blog that was subsequently sucked in by our blog aggregator. When you post an alternative to a blog you are not posting a blog. You're posting an article that presents an alternative to the blog.
So we label them as Articles.
