There are many different types of people that have begun blogs.
You are able to view fellow bloggers pages by going to the 'blogs of note' section on the dashboard.
In this they highlight "Interesting and noteworthy Blogger-powered blogs, compiled by the Blogger Team."
Looking through blogs you can see they range from personal blogs, to educational, political and even entertainment.
Here are some examples:

what's your opinion?
I read an article called "Blogged down in a swamp of other people's opinions" by Mark Day.
It's based round one mans opinion on other people sharing their opinions...
and how the media reflects the publics opinion, do they give an accurate representation of what people are really thinking? or do they themselves create their own opinions and choose instead to broadcast that...
He states how blogging has become a new way for people to get their opinions accross, whereas before people in positions of power e.g. politicians, were the only ones to do this through the newspaper, TV etc.
In parts he suggests that now since anyone can get access to the internet, it is almost becoming polluted with opinions because some people seem to have an opinion on almost everything.
He expresses agitation when he says"Opinions are not outcomes. They have no meaning other than to express what you think", this quote shows how he is somewhat anti-blog despite him admiting he has recently begun writing one himself.
In my opinion the article is an example of someone wanting to be heard, and knowing they will be. And also wanting to spark a debate about whether or not the media reflect what peoples opinions really are.
Ironically the whole article is basically his opinion on people sharing their opinions through blogging, and this, has been my opinion on THAT.

beginner!
Hello, this is my first blog for Document Design and Publication.
Blogging has become a popular new form of 'media communication', for many reasons. One being its cheaper and quicker than posting a handwritten letter. Especially if you are trying to reach mass audiences.
The purpose of this blog will be to discuss the blogging revolution. Including design elements and content of actual blogs. It will look at the different reasons why people create blogs and who they intend to reach with their blogs.
It will also cover the growth of the blog and, the diverse groups of people that have introduced one to their internet schedules.
