Civic blogs

Types of Blogs

Some blogs exist to promote civic engagement around an issue of concern.

Many shed light on local issues that would otherwise fall through the cracks.

They stimulate and enrich public discussions about everything from the tax rate to bike lanes.

Managing labels

Labels group posts together on pages by category.

They are a great way to organize your blog.

But how can you manage them?

Journey blogs

Types of Blogs

A journey can be a trip, a year at school, a diet, a divorce, a struggle with cancer.

You are bound for a different place than where you started, and the blog tells the story of how.

Like the catalog, it is deceptively simple. You just put one foot in front of the other and at some point you have created a body of work.

The journey, in installments, is the original form of blogging. It is the "log" in "blog."
