This article
proposes a general model to analyze and compare different uses of the blog
format. Based on ideas from sociological structuration theory, as well as on
existing blog research, it argues that individual usage episodes are framed by
three structural dimensions of rules, relations, and code, which in turn are
constantly (re)produced in social action. As a result, "communities of
blogging practices" emerge—that is, groups of people who share certain
routines and expectations about the use of blogs as a tool for information,
identity, and relationship management. This analytical framework can be the
basis for systematic comparative and longitudinal studies that will
further understanding of similarities and differences in blogging practices.
