Hey, I'm crazed about this idea of categorizing bloggers and blog posts. Any links to good food for thought on this subject, please share.

Some of my finds this morning include a What Blogging Archetype Are You Most Like? quiz, my own result plus link below.

You are a Rebecca Blood.
You are worldly, well-spoken, not afraid to share your opinions and are always open to new ideas.

I also like this 20 Types of Blog Posts, this one post has spawned all sorts of discussion all over the place. And you can't go wrong with the quick Wikipedia summary of Types of blogs.

I used to keep a blog that fit under the categories Race, Ethnicity, & Culture, or Civil Rights, or Social Justice. Now my only blog is here on OlyBlog, a blog within a blog, I probably fit best under the Life Blog umbrella now, as categorized by BlogHer.

In another quiz I am told:
You scored as The Philosopher. Hola, thinker! You always always have your thinking hat on. Somehow you have the special ability to pick out the oddities of life and the particular something that catches your eye. A little different from the shouter, you shout out in a deeper context. Not many may understand what you’ve typed, but to you, recording your train of thoughts is all that matters!

weird


You are an AKMA.
You stand out from the crowd because of deeply held beliefs in the unknown.
You ponder endlessly and treat everyone, even fucknozzles, with respect.
WWAD (what would AKMA do) guides your actions.

I got him too. I also got

I got him too. I also got 75% Philosopher and 75% Journalist, which, according to that quiz, means I'm a journalist.

Yeah

I can see this in you Norm, without even looking at who the heck AKMA is. And now I've learned a new word, had never heard f*cknozzle before.

You might like this short

You might like this short article on blogging over at thinkquest. It has the best word...Splog (for spam blogs).

This was fun, thanks for the links. :)

I had looked that over

I had looked that over quickly, good stuff. I love how innovative we human beings can be online, splog is a great term.

Maybe eventually we all can come up with amusing labels for various types of OlyBloggers, or we can each think on how we describe ourselves and our style. Plus a glossary of all the words and phrases we co-create could be fun.

You are an Andrew


You are an Andrew Sullivan.
You are not afraid to share your political views with everyone in candid and clear ways.
You may also be making some money... one day.
