.: Blogging Community :.

First of all, what is blogging community? Blogging community is a group of people who have the same interest which allows them to interact or share information with each other on the latest blog post.

To have an active blog, one blogger needs to have a blogging society so that it can gain wider coverage and gain more readers to read in one’s blog (Improbulus, 2005).

Besides, installing RSS (Really Simple Syndication) into your computer or sign-up for web-based services can take you to different websites which you are interest in. Hence, join other established blogging community and be active by commenting on their discussion. (Denise 2009).

Blogging society listed in three types as below (White.N 2006):

• ·                     The Single Blog / Blogger Centric Community - Blog which might have multiple creators or is owned by one person.

•   Topic Centric Community – Same interests drive the blogs and connect together within the society and create membership.

 

• ·                     Boundaried Community- A person can modify or compile their blog on their platform.

According to White’s (2006), Community and blogs is a foundation to blogger centric community and single blog. For Example: kennysia.com. He is the creator for the community and the blog. If the creator decides to shut down the blog, the community will be dissolve due to the social group has restricted source.
