Nowadays people blog for different reasons, they create different types of blogs, depending on their target audience and interest (Librari*s & ‘Blogs).
Below examples is the classification types of blogs which include:
Subject matter:
1. Politics, e.g. Donklephant
2. Fashion, e.g. TANGS Malaysia Fashion Blog
3. History, e.g. Blog 4 History: American & Civil War History
4. Law, e.g. Sentencing Law & Policy

Status of publishers:
1. Business blog, e.g. GuruFocus.com
2. Corporate blogs, e.g. Toyota Motor Company
Many blogs are combination of styles. This made identifying unique types difficult. According to abc.net, Funnell (2008) discussed that there are 9 types of blogs classification such as pamphleteering, digest, advocacy, popular mechanics, exhibition, gate watcher, diary, advertisement and news blogs. In my opinion, the most popular classification of blogs as discussed in abc.net would be the diary, digest, advertisements and news blogs. This is different as compared to Wikipedia as it classifies blogs through , status of publisher, genre, device and media type.

As suggested by Kress and Van Leeuwen (1998), the centre is the “nucleus” around which other information is placed. Placing the topic in the centre will capture the audience’s attention and enable them to determine its type immediately.
