Classifies a blog is getting more and more complex nowadays from food, travel, etc; but to make an easy blog classification will require more than a type-classification, but to differentiate on the appropriate category a blog type falls in:
By Genre:
By Media Type:
- Vlog (Video Log) - blog with a collection of video.
- Linklog (Link Blog) - blog with a consist of link.
- Sketchblog - blog with contains sketch inside.
- Tumbleblog - blog with many media types.
- Photoblog - blog with a collection of photo.
By Device:
- Moblog (Mobile Phone Blog)
By Status of Publisher:
- Personal Blog - blog with use for ongoing diary, share experience. most common blog.
- Corporate Blog - blog with use for private and business purpose.
(Vlogblog)
(Linkblog)
(Sketchblog)
(Tumbleblog)
(Photoblog)
(Moblog)
(Corporateblog)
However, Simons (2008), an author and media analyst from Australia classifies the blog differently by dividing down into 9 different categories:
- Pamphleteering blog
- Advocacy blog
- Popular mechanics blog
- Digest blog
- Exhibition blog
- Diary blog
- Advertisement blog
- Gatewater blog
- News blog
It's hard to difine the classifications of blog, because it depends on what the blogger want to write and what the people need. The writer must know how to classify their blog, so it can help readers to find what they want easily.
