ClappingTree’s Web 2.0

As a guitar blogger, I’ve done a bit of 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. My most successful posts have been of the updater type as I documented building an ergonomic guitar.

Interesting, Rob. I suppose the Updater type attracts more traffic because it is unique (and not one of those run-of-mill, “typing it all over again” info) and only you (or at most a select few) can provide that kind of content.

Just curious: are you an instrument maker too? Or did you build the guitar just for yourself?

The guitar build was for my personal use and actually my first attempt at one. I was quite fortunate that it turned out as well as it did. In fact, I’ve actually been contacted by several folks asking if I would build them one as well!

Meanwhile, I’m starting to ponder what guitar build #2 will be like.

My blogging style has changed in a relatively short space of time due to increase in confidence, feedback and a more defined purpose. I am less able to categorize my style now than a few months ago.

I do not want to define myself as a particular type of blogger and hope that I never will; instead reacting to and learning from my reading audience, current trends and innovations.

I would use the different blogging styles you list in various degrees but this would largely depend on the subject matter of the post itself. My aim – to be interesting to my readers – a word used in a lot of the categories you list.

Saying this, some blogs are more suited to a particular style and still remain interesting.

The topics above seem to largely relate to posts incorporating information from other sources, e.g. news, other blogs

What about blogs that talks about less concrete matters – views on life in general, personal thoughts, experiences, observations etc.
Do they not deserve a category of its own or would you consider them part of the questioner style?

Great points, Sue. This looks like an inspiration for yet another post on this topic.

I usually am entertainer..i post videos pictures and other things like this

a bit of each type. haha

It’s a very informative post. As a student and a blogger I guess I’m more of the entertainer and updater in writing my posts. I have another suggested type in mind. How a news maker?Guess some of the blogs are that type.

I don’t know what my blogging style is.

Is pretty boring a style? lol

i choose for 1,2 and 4.

Entertainer& Questioner. I suppose.

I like the post because this post contain different opinion regarding the blog and shows the different types.I know all the types but I have used Speed-linker,Quoter most of the time.It is great post as it creates the awareness among other regarding the types of blog and their respective uses.

Dont forget their is another type of blogger known as spammer, many people comment on blogs with usually just one line of text, not actually contributing anything of any value to the blog, just to get a link back to theit website. Me personally I like to leave some feedback or try to actually put some content into the blog post.
