After reading blogs for awhile, I¹ve come to see some patterns in the ways
postings in text-based blogs are formatted. As I see it, there are seven
basic formats for blog postings. Each serves a different purpose for
bloggers and their readers.

The format of a blog posting, if chosen consciously and carefully, enhance
communication ­ particularly the delivery of certain types of content.
Consequently, some formats work best for commentary or explanation, others
for alerts and references, etc.

Here are the seven basic blog posting formats:
    1.      Link-only
    2.      Link blurb
    3.      Brief remark
    4.      List
    5.      Short article
    6.      Long article
    7.      Series
