There are a few ways to classify blogs (searchwindevelop.com), for today; I'll explain some of the most basic forms.
   
In the previous post, I've set out a few examples. Lets use them alright?
  • Personal Blog

Personal Opinion

From a blogger's standpoint, I find that there are 3 main ways to classify blog. First there's the personal blog, second the general or everything blog and thirdly there are the genre specific blogs. If one was to tag all blogs to a specific label, there would be no end. 

Under personal blogs, there's nothing much to explain, just people blogging about their lives and sharing it for the web world. 

With general or everything blogs, they blog about the universe. Literally! Well anything and everything under the sun, is blogged about. There is no specific genre and possibly no specific direction. These are bloggers who just want to talk about everything. Or should I say blog about,... well... everything.

And finally, with genre specific blogs, there are countless possibilities! You can blog about movies, you can blog about food or fishing or games or anything you want. And the list goes on and on and on... Well it can go on forever in fact. Mainly because we find new things everyday, hence there are more topics to blog about.

That's my personal opinion on the matter though, what's your?
