According to White (2006), there are 3 types of blogging communities:

One blog Centric Community

~> Known as a single blog and it is owned by one owner or organization. Help to make the readers to be a part of one community tho they aren't able to do the topic. 

2. Central Connecting Topic Community

~> Both power and identity are in this community. The members are into each other, or lets say they support each other. They share same ideas and focusing on certain topics that is current on news. 

3

  Boundaries Community

~>  Compilation of blogs as they easily access to each other. 

It usually works as some group or single discussion board.

For example, I fall into the blog called 'Irvina's blog', which is actually the bloggers who have the same interest with Irvina's post. 

This kind of blog that I'm following is entering the methods of Central connecting topic community.
