Still, I think many of my American friends find it downright unfriendly though that is not the intention. I liked "Resident Evil", very thought provoking eeven for an unartsy person like me, so how about an update?

Would like to see the results once you are half-way there. The initial categorization is great. There is one site (OST) where 1-6 frequently get covered with quite a bit of interaction all the way from evangelical to ec to nonchristian. there are a few (like mine) that I have run into where it's an almost secular take...

They give you some idea of who your audience is, over time. To some extent you can guess - ask yourself who would read what you write and come back time after time. And then there are the people who email you about posts. Group blogs aren't the same thing as personal blogs at all. In a personal blog the blogger speaks from their own place - s/he has chosen the colours, images, etc and the site functions as an expression of identity. Group blogs may be a meeting place, Professional blogs are a different thing again. They have a subtext of the promotion of some 'official' message.

There are some tags used that are common to some blogs. A significant number of blogs in the sample are powered by blogger and don't have category functions. Some blggers place technorati tag-lonks under each post, and so far there are too many to sort right now. So your question: "What do the names and categories that "emergent" bloggers use tell us about those bloggers and the communities?" is also an important question of mine. But you'll have to give me to time say anything about it. Might have something for you in February (that's my goal, anyway).

Are the categories and tags used by bloggers to describe their sites: a) helpful, b) accurate (given a set of definitions you'd provide, c) common across blog and, d) imposed by a single authority in a shared blog? I've basically given up using tags to access peoples blogs because the granularity isn't there. Classifying something as "emergent church" might be a general category but a sub-category of "emergent church - ecclesiology" or "emergent church - gender" would be more helpful at times. What do the names and categories that "emergent" bloggers use tell us about those bloggers and their communities? And somewhere recently I've seen some cluster graphs that have analyzed religous blogs and grouped themes. Can't remember where though. I’d be interested in a survey on tagging and category usage.
