By media type
- vlog (video blog)
- linklog (blog with links to other relevant sites)
- sketchlog (picture blog)
- tumblelogs (a combination of medias)
According to Kress and van Leeuwen (2006), text and graphics are used together to form greater meaning as both these modes support each other. Therefore, i would think that the trends now are mostly the tumblelogs. This is because of the different media types such as the text, video, and pictures where bloggers would be able to convey their expressions. Furthermore, Walsh (2006, p.31) states that, Bloggers enter a site is to obtain information and its main purpose is to provide people with numerous types of information. That is why, I would say that tumblelogs would be the trendiest is because people have different ideas and experiences they face everyday and bloggers would want to express them. Furthermore they also want to share about their experiences.
