- Pamphleteering blogs: this blogs consists of individual people or groups of people who are arguing a case or pushing a cause. Most of the time they are responding to facts that other people who posted on a blog or that has been reported in mainstream media. Example: Buckeye State Blog. You will notice this blog focuses a lot on pushes the authors opinion on politics.
- The digest blog: this blogs allows people to summarise, and sometimes put in their own opinion, about things that have been reported in mainstream media. Example: Progressive Blog Digest. This blog states at the top of the page that it will consist of things from news site combined with the authors own observations.
- The popular mechanics blog: this type of blogs focuses on giving advice and training on specific fields, interests and hobbies. Example: Strobist. This blog gives advice solely on photography.
- The diary: as the name states, it is used for people to publish things about their lives - to write a diary.
- The exhibition blogs: this blog are wrote by writers, craftspeople and artists who use these blogs to share their work and ideas. Example: Around the World in 20 Quilts. This blog is obviously maintained by craftspeople who make quilts and then share these quilts with the world.
I'd also like to mention a couple more blogs that focus on document design.
- Karlen Communications: this blog discusses document design and other issues surrounding design. I think this blog is a popular mechanics blog. The author gives tips and advice about designing documents.
- Tampa Bay Times: this blog is a digest blog. It provides summaries and information about things in mainstream media.
