The first is my personal blog, a lot of random stuff, but I try and keep it semi useful. The second is an information/interest blog for teaching the basics of photography. Then I also use wordpress as a CMS for company websites. So no commenting, just wordpress pages. It is such a flexible script that it make building web sites easy and quick.

It’s a travel blog for women who want to get away for a couple of days with girlfriends. I research the cities and opportunities there, take the getaway with one or more friends, then report on how the trip went. Where we stayed, cost, ground transportation options, restaurant reviews, shopping options, sightseeig options. My slant is on good value, unique and off-the-beaten path things to do. I report honestly on what we liked and what we didn’t. So it’s a very personal blog. BUT, I am a writer for Midwest Airlines and it is a corporately-sponsored, but totally uncensored blog. A perfect match. Some even say a perfect job.

I think it is quite different from the models mentioned by Tan Kian Ann although it is closest to the “Professional Interest Blog” A research blog is also a “repository of knowledge” but it strives to be more than that. It strives to eventually reflect upon that knowledge. It also changes the way research is usually done, in a closed environment where only a final product is presented in the open. In a research blog you can track developments in the research.

Or maybe you need another category entirely for hobby blogs. I would suggest that many genealogy blogs are “hobby” rather than “professional” in nature though there are certainly some professional genealogy blogs out there too. Hobby blogs may include documenting personal endeavors (research success), disseminating information in a newsletter-like fashion (book or seminar reviews), project development and status reports (recording the steps involved in writing a family history or family cookbook project and reporting the progress or lack thereof). It seems to me many if not most hobby blogs I’ve read have elements of several of the models you’ve mentioned. I don’t think you can fit them in any one of your models. 10 is a nice round number but I’d argue in favor of “hobby blog” being made #11 ;-)

Either’s good for me.

Actually, with the Plugins you shared, WordPress go way way beyond this list! :P

At first i have my own personal blog. The company i work for also has some blogs. There are blogs who publish news (different blogs for different languages and/or services). Also we use to have a internal developer blog. This blog has more a character of a “project log”.
