Today, many readers read the blogs that they find interesting and suit them, this is where blogging community comes. Blogging communities exist because of their similar interest and therefore literally connect with other users to discuss about it (Ivan, 2009).
For example, Malaysia former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir has his own blog and eventually created a blogging community whereby people especially Malaysians will discuss about the topic posted by him. In this blog the taxonomy is a form of pamphlet to literally promote their topic to the audiences (Simons, 2008). However based on my personal thought, I think that his blog is not my style and suitable for me therefore I don't dare to judge because some may say im bias.

One of the examples of blogging community is the Bing Community, whereby users and visitors are allowed to view pictures and have many links to other site as well.
