what is one's blog-dentity?

so there's all kinds, right? like the Pop Candy woman to Javi to Ohbejuan to pro-blogger types like the Machinist on Salon.
but it seems to me that blogs are about a kind of selective disclosure and cultivated public persona: the academic blogger, the fashion blogger, the gossip blogger turned gossip subject.
and i wonder just how "academic" i am or want to be (here at least). Like maybe i want to blog about representations of bipolar disorder. That's academic (representations of) but also deeply personal to me.
And I don't think it is just a personal=political kind of thing either since the personal is so self-consciously constructed.
