Blogs!!

Heya people, i'm back at class and it's a wonderful feeling! haha not really :D Anyway i've jus finished reading Margaret Simmons article about 'Towardstaxonomy of blogs' where she explains that there are different types of blogs and bloggers that best fit a category. Simons identifies a total of 9 categories and one which I think I am under. The 9 are:

1. Pamphleteering blog
Blogs under this category are are usually blogs that 'argue or push a cause' (Simons, 2009) that are responses to issues.

2. The Digest blog
These are blogs that give you like a summary on information that have been in the media or in other blogs.

3. The Advocacy blog
These blogs center their attention to one particular issue, ussuallt nade by a group of people.

4. The Popular Mechanics Blog
Basically these blogs help and offer advice on special fields eg. gardening etc.

5. The Exhibition Blog
This type of blog is often run by artisits, craftspeople and writers who voice their 'how' and why' solutions.

6. The Gatewatcher Blog
These blogs are by experts and specialists who keep a watch on public events.

7. The Diary
These blogs are 'intended for friends and family' (Simons, 2009) that contain personal information.

8. The advertisement
Basically like the Advocacy blog, however less honest.

9. The News Blog
These are just another way of communicating the important news and issues to the audiences.

Anyway, as I have officially blogged and will be blogging for the next couple of weeks I think my blogs fit under 2 categories, the Pamphleteering Blog and the Digest Blog.This is because every week i'll be posting about issues and commenting on other work that i'll be going through and hopefully other individuals feel the same. So, for now I hope you have a lovely week and don't forget to comment if need.

See you next week xo
