After searching the web for a while, I came across a couple of blogs that you may find interesting. The first one is the Green Peace Blog: it is composed of posts sent by people from all over the world who share the desire to keep themselves abreast of the health of our planet and to spread news, in order to awaken public opinion to environmental problems. In my opinion, it is very well done: besides the bloggers' posts (some of which are very touching, like the one about the anniversary of Mayak catastrophe), you can satisfy all your curiosities by checking the links you find on both sides of the page. Just to make an example, on the right there is a section called Actions you can take now, which contains a list of brief clickable suggestions about how to give one's own small contribution to the protection of the environment and the preservation of our resources; I think it is definetely the kind of information everyone is interested in and that can catch even the inattentive reader's attention.
If you think that this kind of readings is too demanding for you, then check the second blog I found: it’s about gossips! Did you know that Ricky Martin got his own star along Hollywood “walk of fame”? Or that Britney Spears was photographed wearing a pink wig? No? Well, if you are eager to know the details of these and other crucial issues, visit this irreverent blog coming directly from Hollywood! It is daily updated with all you MUST know about films, music, television and, above all, the latest celebrity scoops and scandals! What struck me was its fresh style and the attempt of placing at the visitor's disposal all the tools he may need to find the news he is looking for: there are plenty of links to learn everything about each “popbyte” and gossips are also catalogued by category and by the month or the week in which they have been published…not to lose anything!
As you can see, the language used in the blogs can vary noticeably according to the topic they deal with. In the first one, the vocabulary and the register tend to suit the aim pursued in the blog: the news exchanged are really important and in many cases they give the explanation of quite complex phenomena (such as the greenhouse effect, or the melting of the polar caps), therefore the language used has to be clear to convey directly the meaning of the text, the tone is formal and the reader can often find technical terms.
The second blog is completely different: it is more diary-like, a flow of information and photos shared by a group of friends fond of scandalmongering news. Therefore, the language is colloquial and reproduces the features of informal conversation (it often resorts to abbreviations, neologisms and words taken from slang).
