Personally, when I look at an article, a blog or online news, the first thing which it seizes my attention is the topic and writhing style of that particular site. Somehow, blogs look likes planets and they look unclear from distance, thus the style, format, topic and audience are playing a vital role to build up a powerful blog. According to (Walsh 2006, p.34) audience and context of the weblogs or websites are one of the first top priorities for designing a good document.
( For example this title is enough clear to understand )
According to Technorati.com (2008), there are verities of blogs which can be categorized by different targeted audience such as politics blog, business blog, sport blog, entertaining blog or a lifestyle blog. Flierl, R and Fowler, H (2007) points out that one of the biggest advantages about blogs is that, it has provided a valid value towards student writing and their knowledge. With blogs, university student works can be read by everyone who has serving blogs.
For example if we compare the Technorati.com with taxonomy of blogs, we can see from Technorati.com there are so many links which is has been provided to link us to the other web pages. On the other hand, from the taxonomy of blogs we can see only text which is not really interesting for readers.
Hedden, H. (2010) classifying those documents that we have use for our weblogs is very challenging, but the most important things which we should be more consider about is, the classification will give us the power to organize the universe. For example you can visit Micro-Blogs
