I was reading my RSS Bandit (thanks to Kang Kombor) when I bumped an article about classification of blog posts. I will write down the excerpt here:

  1. The SpeedLinker
    This is where you gather links to something interesting in other blogs.
  2. The Quoter
    This is when you saw other people saying good things in their blog and you rewrite it in your own blog.
  3. The Entertainer
    This is where you entertain your readers by putting hilarious video from Youtube.com
  4. The Questioner
    This is where you ask your readers a question to start a discussion. You definitely need readers to begin with :-)
  5. The Updater
    This is where you inform your readers regarding the progress of an ongoing project. It could be report on your own project/blog
  6. The Newsreader
    This is where you share interesting news you get from press release or newspaper.
  7. The Recycler
    This is where you put your old post as new, with additional update of course
  8. The Guest Poster
    This is where you let someone else creating post in your blog.
  9. The Announcer
    This is where you announce something to your readers. DOH!

And I think this post itself will become the example of ‘The Quoter’ type of post.
