blogging, incorporating ideas, information, interests, life, media, real people, surveys, tactics, tips

After reading the article about the 30 blogging tactics to stay motivated, it drew my attention to follow some of those tips. They definitely apply. I especially liked the tip to write in public. Writing in public will get me into the habit of writing in general. Blogging is a free expression of whatever topic interests me. However, if I write in public; I will be writing more of what I see in front of me. I will write what I see interests my peers in college. That will potentially bring more readers to my blog if I target not only my interests, but also the interests of my peers. Another resourceful tip was surveying my readers. That seemed like such a useful tip. Surveying readers will again create a bigger reader base because I am incorporating my ideas with what they want to read. The last tip I found on that list to be most useful was using social media to gather what is going on in media and with real life people. I found all these tips to specifically be useful because my blog is media related. I blog about all the hot spots, celebrity gossip, fashion tips, and lifestyle tips. All these tips target my blog to gather even more readers.

fashion, gossip, media, music, opinion, pictures, trendy, tumblr

Before this class I didn’t know wordpress existed. My blogging knowledge is very limited. The only blog I’ve had in the past was tumblr. I really didn’t write much on my blog and I didn’t follow too many people. I mainly utilized the tumblr blog to express myself through pictures. A picture is really worth a thousand words and I love that a picture can be interpreted many different ways. I would blog on tumblr on a daily basis in high school and in college I definitely stopped blogging as much. I would blog about many different things. Anything from fashion to animals. I thought taking this class would be extremely interesting because when I did blog on tumblr I used it as an artistic outlet. Although I didn’t do anything fancy with the blog and I just re-blogged photos, it was something that allowed me to freely express myself. I’m looking forward to using this website to create my own blog. I would like to create a blog that I can keep up with past this class. I think blogs are beneficial to allow people to express themselves through words, pictures, and thoughts. To me a blog doesn’t have a structure. What I mean is – all blogs all different and unique in its own way.

I’ve been contemplating a few thoughts for my own blog. I would like to do a fashion/trendy blog. I am very much into current styles with fashion, hair, nails, etc. Another idea would be a media related blog. I would utilize the blog to post about celebrity gossip, new music, new hot spots, and just anything socially related to the young age group. My third option would be a critique type of blog. I would want to check out different albums, movies, restaurants, etc. to give my opinion. I wish I could somehow mesh all these blog ideas into one!
