Completed some research this weekend -- making a list of the types of blog posts.
These were pulled from all over the Internet plus some of my own.
Thought you maybe you would like a copy.
I was shooting for 100. Came up short. Help build the list. Add your type in the comment’s section, and a definition if you have one. In the next few weeks, I’ll take what you have added and add them to the list and update the list and the PDF file.
Not sure what a particular type is? In Google, type in the field “type of blog” and then add the word afterwards. You should find several resources with definitions. Disclaimer: I’m not saying if the type is good or bad to use. This is just of choices.
