When Blogging Bug Bites You

What’s happening to blog really baffles me. It is just about everywhere you go? High-society parties, conferences, friends, bakery shop…everywhere, and everyone’s doing it. Why? The not so net savvy guyz do it because they need an interface to express their thoughts and believe that they have something substantial to share with the world. Techies do it because they feel they can at some point make money out of it, and many like me do it because of the above reasons and to keep the website dynamic, and of course have people counter-commenting!

There are basically three kinds of blogs:

An Individual’s blog

This is a hobbyists blog, generally belonging to those who feel that they could be writers but entered the wrong profession, or those thoughtful souls who have something intellectual simulating to share with the world.

A Theme-based Blog

This kind of blog is more of a professional website which wants to make money and attracts regular traffic. A theme-based blog can be on technology like mobiles, laptop, software, hardware or any other subject like movies, travel, restaurants, books, etc. Credibility really matters a lot here as that would attract repeat traffic to these blogs.

Corporate Blogging

Ah! How much have we heard of them, and how much we like to speak in favor and against this. When a CEO writes a blog in the company blog, it makes company headlines. Corporate blogging is a new age phenomenon that has caught with the industry pretty well. This also promises more traffic to the website, and of course helps in branding!

There may be a few categories, but broadly these three occur to my mind.
