There are many blogs out there and for each and every blog, their design and style as well as content are different. Sometimes is hard to classify them into a particular category. As we can see from wordpress.com, they have highlight a few blog categories that are popular such as the personal blog, business blog, politics blog, sports blog, how to-tips and reviews blog, expertise blog, gadget blog and so on. However, some blogs may have classified as violate blogs such as blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes, blogs that promoted private copies of ebooks, movie and music, and scraper blogs which is blog that take content from other blogs and re-publish it without permission.
In my opinion, classifying blog using subject matter will be easier for people to find information eg: politic, history, fashion, law, device. For example if your blog is about mobile, make up tutorial, fishing, or pets care, people can easily search what they want from Google; just type in the subject you are searching with the word blog, then list of blogs that related to the particular topic will appear. Overall, determine the purpose of your blog before you get started and consider what you hope to accomplish and what is the best platform will be for your particular type of blog is the best way of classification approach.
This is an example of subject matter classification. I type in dog care in the search, and this blog is one of the blog that appear in the related blog list.
