I had mentioned Darren Rowse’s Battling Bloggers Block series before, but this particular part deserves special attention, as it is one of the most insightful posts I’ve ever seen there – and that’s saying a lot, believe me.
According to Darren, there are 20 common types of blog posts – many bloggers use some of them regularly, some exceptionally, and some never:
- Instructional
- Informational
- Reviews
- Lists
- Interviews
- Case Studies
- Profiles
- Link Posts
- ‘Problem’ Posts
- Contrasting two options
- Rant
- Inspirational
- Research
- Collation Posts
- Prediction and Review Posts
- Critique Posts
- Debate
- Hypothetical Posts
- Satirical
- Memes and Projects
It makes a lot of sense – I could probably take any post of mine in any of my blogs, and tell, easily, in what type they fit – sometimes, it a combination of two or more, but it’s rare.
Darren, of course, goes into some detail about each type. So, without further ado, 20 Types of Blog Posts.
