“I like reading them [the blogs] because I always find personal writings there. I’m tired of too professional, standard news, articles… blogs are in a way different, and each is unique. They will never die out, at least I hope so.” wrote Zoltán Bíró, a Hungarian blogger once about his own “profession”. In this primarily qualitative paper, I try to point out how the differences between the communication styles of men and women appear in Hungarian blogs and I analyze the entries and the comments from a corpus linguistic perspective. I used a small sample, I analyzed the 5 latest entries and their comments on 20 blogs (10 written by male bloggers and 10 by female bloggers), altogether yielding 54,401 words.
