The 23 Blogger Breeds – Which Are You? Which do you prefer?

Vic the Vicar has a post that’s slightly critical of the blogging world:

……it was sad that people who were political painted the same picture as all those who were of the same persuasion. Some of the Christian blogs all seemed to draw upon the news items and used them as their post with little opinion and nothing to make them theirs.

Vic is right in that it can get a little repetitive out there.

I do try to mix things up a little, but the trouble for me is that I’m not terribly good at original thinking and so find I have to feed off other sources, which makes me a little dependent.

OK, that said, I thoroughly enjoyed a post over at ProBlogger detailing 23 types of bloggers. I found it fairly easy to classify myself mainly as:

1. The Machine

Blogger machines know how to pump out content … like a machine. They post on a daily basis and sometimes multiple times per day. Microbloggers fall into this category as they write very short, frequent posts.

And in the mix would be: 9. The commenter, with a tendency towards: 12. The Statistician, certainly: 16. The Grammatical Failure and maybe a hint of: 21. The Passion Purist.

What kind of blogger do you see yourself as? What kind of blogs do you prefer?

    I guess I’m just an old-fashioned kind of blogger – a creator of a “web-log” of everything that goes on in our community.

    I’m glad you commented Eileen, as I can honestly say you are by far the most imaginative and original blogger I know.

    It amazes me and I do wish I had a little of that magic.

    The Machine, with tendencies towards Name Dropper and Commenter. I just don’t have the marketing savvy to be anything else.

    You’re very kind. I started blogging to make a very small number of people laugh. I’ve gained a few more along the way, but it’s still the same aim. It’s the wonder of the bloggersphere that we have other blogs, including your own, being creative in different ways.

    That was interesting, and I could certainly type some others, but I don’t have a clue what I am ;)

    I’m none of the above. But then again, I haven’t been blogging much as of late so maybe I’m #24… the non-blogging blogger.
