Blogging community is a group of people share same interest interact with each other on the latest blog in some blogs. Several online communities exist that connect people to blogs and bloggers to other bloggers, including BlogCatalog. Interest-specific blogging platforms are also available, they have their own practices and behaviors to helps create norms (Wei. C, 2004).
Many of us interested in the application of online community to learning and work, ‘grew up’ in this era of bounded communities. There is a guide to create a blog community is to start by immersing in the community around. The next is to learn which tools are important (Denise 2009). This is to allow you to get familiar with the services and the opportunities that make you more easier when searching information through blog. Tagging is also a helps bring others into the loop, this categorize people onto a certain group of same interest. Tags are really nothing more than keywords used to describe a piece of data (Sue, 2010).
There are three types of blogging community:
Blog Based Communities
One blog centrie community
First form of blog based of community to emerge. The one blog is owned by one owner but more than one blogger writing in a blog. eg: http://www.downes.ca/ . Stephen Downes
Central Connecting Topic Community
The Central Connecting Topic Centric blog community is a network formation. This form is a community that arises between blogs linked by a common passion or topic. It basically begins when there is a shared interest between bloggers. Eg: http://globalvoicesonline.org/
Boundaried Communities
They are required to register and ‘join’ the community and being offer a chance to create a blog. Eg:http://www.shareyourstory.org/

Personally I am familiar with Twitter.com which readers can subscribe and be notified when there is an update with the new posts. Twitter is also another form of blogging. Besides, it is increasingly used. It is simple and easy user interface to build a blogging community.
