My perspective
Besides the basic types of blog which I’ve provided above, there are still various types of blogs which existed throughout the global networks. For instance, political blog, gossip blog, etc. (Can be refers to Rowse 2005).
Depends on the preferences of the blogger himself/herself, these blogs could be performed in multiple forms as people have different perspectives in expressing their opinions.
