Columns

Some websites are collections of solo blogs tucked inside another bigger blog community. These solo blogs in this settings are sometimes called columns. They tend to showcase the writing of a single blog author in her own style and often give her a dedicated section of the community site. Usually there is a cohensive design brand overall, but sometimes the columns display each author's own decorative point of view.

Occasionally, an independently-produced solo blog indicates that it is part of a larger blog network by displaying a button or banner on its site. This indicates that it is part of an overall community, but neither a column nor necessary a group or traditional community blog.
