This was a Friend Friday topic but I have been so busy that I was able to post it last Friday so here it is. If you like to check out Friend Friday post stop by www.modlychic.com.
1. How has your blog changed over the months/years you’ve been blogging?
My blog has blossomed from being about hair and hair reviews to cooking to fashion. It has evolved, not saying that I will not do hair product reviews but it’s richer now.
2. What was one thing you did wrong in the beginning and how have you
changed that?
Adding music to my blog so when you clicked that’s the first thing you heard. That was very distracting to the viewer of my blog.
3. When you visit a blog what’s the greatest turn off? The thing that
makes you close the tab?
If it’s a fashion blog it’s a turn off to see nudity on a blog. I find this a turn off also when looking in fashion magazines. I know that the photographer or whoever is trying to say its art, however we are talking about fashion apparel (pieces of fabric sewn together to create a garment to wear on the body). I am not going out with pants on and no shirt on top unless I want to get arrested. Enough said on that one. Also, if the blog is very dark in color where I find the content hard to read. Lastly to many ads streaming on a blog can make it difficult to view and will be an automatic turn-off.
4. How did you find your voice?
I can truly say if I found my first voice by being a part of hair blogs. It’s so much information out there on how to take care of your hair whether you’re relaxed or natural that you have to do your research to find out what’s best for you. My fashion voice came from me going for my master’s of fashion merchandising, the classes just made my mind soar to fashion heights.
5. If you had three pieces of advice to give to a new blogger what
would those be?
- Be true to who you are and let your voice shine through to your blog.
- Keep your blog clean and easy to read. Not a lot of prints without being able to read the content.
- Always treat people kind even the negative commenter(s) on your blog.
