After going through a copious amount of blogs these past couple of weeks, I daringly present to you: Cindy's Generalizations of the Five Types of Blogs

1. The WBC Blog These blogs are the Whine-Bitch-Complain blogs. They are a source of outgoing steam or stress, and provide a substantial amount of relief for the writers. These writers will mostly, if not mainly, post about how bad their day went and how much life sucks, tending to focus only on the negative aspects of Life in general. Their goal in making a public WBC blog with commenting abilities, is most likely to get attention, and seek sympathy from their readers.

2. The Zine Blog These kinds of blogs attempt to create diversity in their subject content. They may be witty, sarcastic, mockingly ridiculous, or scathingly cynical in their writing. Their main purpose of writing is for their readers to be entertained and to share ideas/opinions. They don't update often, as most will update once every few days/weeks. Their blog design may be very aesthetically pleasing, though most tend to focus more on the content of their blog rather than its visual components.

3. The Personal Blog Like its name suggests, this blog has a few readers limited to their close friends or family only, or would preferrably not have readers at all. These blogs consist of the writer's real and honest accounts of daily experiences/observations. These writers truly think of their blog as a diary or a journal, only better; for the typed word can be amended whereas the written word is static.

4. The Non-Serious Blog These blogs belong to those who have trouble commiting themselves to blogging. They may write about a few, trivial matters, or their posting frequency may be sporadic, or they may be both. These writers perhaps don't know what to write about, or are unsure of what to write. Thus, they result in scanty entries or short, commonplace ones.

5. The Linking Blog The writers of these blogs are more avid readers than they are writers. They'll find an abundant amount of intriguing, upsetting, or humorous links on the web, and cannot wait to share it with others. You won't find out much about the writers of these blogs except their likes and dislikes. These are the writers who will surf for hours upon hours, being entertained or enraged by what they see, and post the various links to entertain and enrage others. Dave Barry has a linking blog.

Now of course you can mix and match these five basic blogs to get creations like: the non-serious linking blog, or the personal WBC blog. So the question is, what kind of blog do you have?
