According to Wikipedia (2009) a community is a group of interacting organisms sharing the same environment and interests. We can use certain tools such as tags, hyperlinks and comments to create a blogging community. The community can just click on the hyperlinks to open the link or website and they are free to leave any comment. An overview on the state of the live web in Sifry’s Alerts (2007) stated that most of us often clicking and using the tags until it has become a trend across the live web. According to White (2006) blog based community are made up in three main patterns such as the single blogger, the central connecting topic community and the boundaried community.
