tips & tricks | blogging

In case you hadn't noticed, the topic of blogging is a subject very dear to us all here. We spend a lot of time-sometimes, maybe too much time--constructing these online journals, and we all have different ways of going about it. Do you blog? What advice and ideas do you have to share?

You will not know what you want to blog about straight away. Trust me on this one, okay? I've been blogging at my current blog for nearly two years, and before that I read blogs for a bit too, and I don't even know what I want to write about half the time. As teenagers, we are changing and growing and evolving as individuals, and you will constantly find new things to love and new phases to go through. Scrolling through my blog shows different obsessions, styles and emotions, and that is what is so brilliant about it. So if you cannot find a niche, that's fine. That's cool. That's brilliant, in fact! You're giving yourself such possibilities by not angsting over whether you are a style blogger or a craft blogger or a photography blogger. You're just a you blogger, and if it takes time to find out what you is, write about that too. Using that photo above as an example, I could talk about the sixties or my self esteem or the scars on my back that I don't normally show because I usually wear my hair down, or the way the afternoon light makes my face all warm and sunny, or how that jumper and that flower crown are my ultimate favourites. And they are all good and lovely and important things, and if I wanted to write about them on my blog I would because that is what I care about, and that is me. Okay?
