I am also hesitant to say that Syllabub isn't a blogger, despite her own remarks that she doesn't regard herself as a "bloggy blogger". I think that her aim is simply different. She writes to connect with her creativity, and love of crafting language. I also think that the frame of reference is too personal to fit nicely into the category of column, and she does seem to have a community eager to hear from her. (as is evident by the comments like "post something" found on the site.) Yet, I do think her approach is more authorial. She exercises much more control over the site, if by nothing else than her tone, then say Burke does.  In fact, it's been interesting to see just how diverse the Blogging community is, how far this medium seems able to stretch. 

I think Christina? (and if it was someone else I apologize) posed the most interesting classification when she compared the form of a blog to the form a bound book. It houses many genre, many types. It is very much it's own form physically, but will almost undoubtedly be classified by the form or content of the language is houses.

Just something I've been considering.
