What TYPE of blog do you prefer?

I was just thinking about all the different types of blogs there are, even just in OUR community. Personal, humorous, celebrity-driven, photos, sports, niche markets . . . what kind are you drawn towards reading most regularly? I generally tend to go for personal or humour blogs and don't really tend to visit the other types on a regular basis. Is there a certain reason why you prefer certain categories of blog?

Just curious! :)

Web influenced marketing blogs about social media, seo, internet marketing, personalized communications etc

and

Personal blogs by people who have strong opinions. I think it's fun to see how other people's brains work; ▶ Reply to This

Personal blogs that talk about a wide range of subjects, and how they affect the life of the blogger. I like personal bloggers who sometimes talk about politics or school life or thoughts on the future, and that kinda thing.

I'm also on and off into social media, so I like reading those kinds of blogs as well, but it takes a little bit more to catch my interest in the long term. I kinda float in and out of those blogs.; ▶ Reply to This

Most importantly, I prefer blogs where the blogger has a grasp of the English language, and are engaging writers because of this. Colloquialism is perfectly acceptable, but if I stumble across a blog peppered with "text speak" - I will run for the hills!; ▶ Reply to This

I don't need a daily recount of anyone's life other than my own. But I love blogs filled with humor and commentary. I love seeing how someone else thinks about certain topics.; ▶ Reply to This

...AND...

I prefer bloggers that can write well - very well.; ▶ Reply to This
