Corporate blogs maintained by just one person tend to show more variation in style, possibly because they address different audiences from one post to the next. Looking at Guided By History, I think it is notable how effectively images and links are used, which is of course another potential blogs have.

So far, I would say our blogs voice follow the genre typical of the audience we're writing for--whether it be students on one blog, history buffs another--and less so the medium of delivery, athough focus on succint, timely content typical of blogging does come into play.
