Well typically blog buttons are used on... well blogs :). Some blogs
are organized by topic so buttons are created accordinglly. I don't
have a blog myself but I do like the button style.

Typically people that visit blog do so because of specific topics they
like on any particullar blog so they would know the icons for specific
topics.

That also what I thought. I'll try making it bigger like on the
"banner_wire_n_shaded" one.

That what I like about it.
