Classification of Blogs

There are many various types of blogs in the blogosphere world these days and it has their own classification. For example, there are blogs about political issues, fashion, personal life, food, discussion for a particular issue and also about scholarly. Normally, bloggers in the personal life classification love to use vlog in their blogs to make it more interesting for their viewers. As for the scholarly classification, it usually uses linklog in order for the viewers convenient to do more research and be able to gain more knowledge through it. An example of this scholarly blog is from a professor in UCLA where he discusses the topic of law and business, wine and food, and also about the punditry.

As the number of blogs is increasing, viewers normally have a hard time to identify the blog’s type. For me, I usually identify the blog’s type by looking at its content itself. By doing so, I have a rough idea on what type of blog it is. Besides that, I usually look into the format of writing style and how the author or writer relates it to the target audience. By this, it is easier to figure the type of blogs.

There are classification of blogs because people have different interest overall. A classification of blog formed is by the people who have the same interest and they are going the share their opinion in the particular topic. As mention above, there are various types of blog such as political, fashion, food and so on.

I love to view those blogs about food. In this genre of blog, I am able to gain my knowledge about food recipe and moreover, I will be able to know which area has the most delicious food and the route to get there. In this section of blog, people from all over the places will be able to share their experience with everyone else either it is good or bad. Thus, the bloggers indirectly are helping the viewer by telling them which place has nice food and vice-versa.

Since there are so many blogs these days, many people are wondering is it hard to create a blogging community. From my experience, to create a blogging community is not really that hard. All you have to do is to learn some computer codes such as the html, however, these days with the modern technology, most blogs do not require the codes anymore due to they have modernize the system so that it will be easier for the bloggers.
