Genre
There are many types of blogs that are out on the internet. The ones that I know of are; fashion, travel, history, entertainment, technology, food, adventure, sports, politics, law, business and social. These blogs are created to cater for their target audience. A blog which is interesting to one might not be as interesting to another. These are few examples of food, travel and fashion blogs which are frequented because they are the few major focuses people have in life.

It is hard to identify a blog as a lot of blogs are actually a combination of a few. Thus, I would think that looking at the target audience and the style of writing as the most suitable way to identify a blog. Through looking at the blog's target audience we can see what type of audience its trying to reach out to and that makes things very much easier. Then we look at the style of writing, be it formal or informal. We can see through the style of writing that makes it unique and we can easily identify the blog after that.
State of publishers
Business and Corporate blogs: Business blogs. Example, American Business Club.

A group of bloggers who because of similar interests, for a community. A community which can so often be tightly bound because of their passion.
The few blogging communities that I know of is:
these are the few very famous blog communities around the world.
Mybloglog community is actually a community for bloggers to communicate and interact with other bloggers. Mybloglog provides a tool in which you can keep track of who visits your blog. It is a community in which people use to keep track of other peoples blogs and interact with one another.
How do you create a blogging community?
You simply need many bloggers of the similar interest and you will find yourself with one blogging community. Even by linking one another can be 'considered' as a blogging community. With one of the bloggers as a 'Home' for all the other bloggers. In the modern age of technology, only your imagination is the limit to what you can do.
