The blog tutorial continues ... this time the different categories of weblogs that you may stumble across.

- Personal : online diary or journal
- Thoughtful : an individual's (or a small group's) thoughts on whatever subject comes to hand; many blur into personal weblogs on one side and topical or political ones on the other, but are distinct enough to constitute a category of their own

- Topical : focus on a specific niche, often a technical one
