The Blogging Categories
Generally, there are several types of blogs and various sub-niches.
Regardless, there are three popular categories of blogs, such as: the organizational, business, personal and combination blogs.
Let me explain...
• The organization blog uses the power simple blog software to communicate either externally with the public or internally within their organizations. This kind of blog has the purpose to facilitate internal communications among employees, colleagues and other organizational personnel. This type of blog leaves a paperless trail from the old out dated newsletter you get with your check.
In addition, organizational blogs normally publish information that is of interest to the public. In a certain instance, there are organizational blogs that publish seminar schedules, meetings, and announcements for their clients customers or members.
A grocery store for example; could publish a blog post on manager specials, that are not in their sales ad. The only way to know if the manager decides to reduce the price of eggs would be to read their blog.
• The business blogs, on the other hand, are for promoting services or products offered by businesses in order to help increase profits. These kinds of blogs can look for ways to increase their reputation and authority with vendors, customers and partners. They do this by publishing contents that express expertise and knowledge within a specific market portion, nicheor industry.
• Personal blogs are those that contain content that are more of a reflection of bloggers’ opinions
and thoughts. Normally, they are used to publish content that voice their points of view on several
kinds and varieties of events and topics.
Bloggers who publish personal contents usually find pleasure in documenting their everyday lives, stream of consciousness and even their hate to specific events through articles that reflects their moods.
Combination Blogs, are blogs that start out as personal blogs, and then blow up into business type or even organizational blogs.
The best Approach is...

and on forums.locate your target audience and find out what they are asking questions about and talking about.
