I love me a good typology. Yup give me a bag full of M&Ms and I'll divide them into piles of blue, green, and red before I eat them.
So I've got to thank World of Matticus for beginning a typology. Matticus posted a "Types of WoW Blog Posts" list and I'm going to add to it:
The "I live in WoW" post
Otherwise known as a "take the red pill" or role-playing post.
Examples:
Anything from Need More Rage
The Jazz Riff Post
WoW blogging is often a community activity. You are not an island, you are not a rock. Or you don't have to be. A common post type is a post commenting or expanding on another blogger's post.
Example:
This post I'm writing now.
The I'm Good with Crayons Post
You don't have to write something to have an interesting post. Comics, videos, screenshots are all valid and interesting ways to WoW blog:
Example
Aspect of the Hare's That Fateful Day
The Good-bye Post
Also known as the "I've found real-life and they have pie" post.
Example
The Absence Post
This type of post is more of an exsistential state. You'll find it by not finding it, ya know? Ye olde blogger hasn't posted anything recently and there is a long stretch of your RSS feed not listing their name.
Examples:
You'll know it when you see it or don't see it...ach!...you know what I mean.
