What Type of Blog do You Have?
I’ve been thinking a lot about what my blog is and really I don’t know, to me my blog is just that MY Blog. This week I’ll be focusing (believe it or not) on what types are blogs are out there. There are many on the photosphere but do you know what types are really out there:

Baby blogs, Journals, Author blogs, Fashion blogs, Hobby Blogs, Review blogs, interview blogs, Celebrity blogs.
As you can see there is a whole list of different categories a blog may fall into, but what is your blog? What types of things do you discuss? If you tend to be focused on one specific thing you can narrow down that category, it’ll fit perfectly into a niche blog. But what if you don’t, what if you write about everything under the sun, including your child’s poop, when they are sick, bills, etc. If you tend to do this you are more or less in the mom/dad blog category.
In Darren Rowse’s blog he always writes tips on making better blogs and how to help bloggers out, here is a great example: Blogs: Frequently Asked Questions . In this article he takes ya through what a blog is and the different types that are out there. It’s been about a year but still very helpful.
Not to worry if you weren’t linked today, I’ll be adding a linky on each day when I blog about a specific type. This way if you aren’t mentioned everyone can learn about you and visit.
Now that we’ve taken this little introduction I’d like to know what ya’ll think makes a blog different from another type. Do you know of any types of blogs that I have left off. Please let me know. Hopefully this will be a fun week. Hey, I had to think of something to focus on this week.
Things I’m doing:
Husband’s aunt & cousin are coming in Thurs-Mon
Husband’s dad just left yesterday
Waiting to read the book (don’t ask why I have no clue)
Must wait a week to give out spoilers (if I ever read the book)
I will still be doing Tues and Thurs giveaways (don’t worry)
I’ll still be doing Wordless Wed and Thursday 13.
Hmm, yep, I am focused but still doing the other items as well. I guess I really am a mommy blog, I do talk about anything and everything.

Speaking of blogs, I just randomly tagged your blog. I found you on Work at home mom bloggers. You can find my post tagging you at Rep on the Run. Looking forward to reading more from you!
Thanks for mentioning my blog in the list.
There are quite a few categories of blogs. If you can't come up with a category for yours, maybe it's an eclectic blog? Although many people have personal blogs, where they talk about whatever they want. Yours probably falls into that category.
Thanks again for the mention,
George
