evolution of a blog
….so three months in and how am I doing? Well, when I started out I kind of half hoped I would be competing with the Satorialist for views by now, I’m not quite there yet! I have a steady, if small flow of visitors, about a thousand or so a month, which is not great but not quite disastrous either. I’m calculating in my experienced blogger mind this depends mainly on a couple of things. One; Content (both verbal and visual). And two; Exposure. With the content I’m reasonably happy, but I can definitely see where I can refine and improve it. (I’m open to suggestions!?). With regards to exposure, I’m not the facebook, twitter, et al kind of person, so I really have to rely on tag, web searches and exposing myself on other peoples blogs. Of course it would be nice to have a thousand clicks a day but I’ll be just as happy when I get the content and focus of the blog optimised. The rest I hope will follow in time. Till then……I shall endeavour to make it as pleasant as possible….

evolution of a blog
Just looking at some other blogs this morning What I saw today and The Satorialist being two very good examples, makes me a just little jealous at how very clear and focused they are and I wonder if they started out with a very clear idea of what they wanted at the beginning (probably), rather than having a fairly good idea (like me). Not that I want mine to be SO singular, only that it finds its own niche, (suggestions welcome). There are just too many different and inspiring things out there to ignore. Some people must have telescopic eyes, mine I think, are more like flies, like a hundred, looking in different directions at once. Although I did make one conscious decision and that was to limit the fashion content to a minimum, as this is my daily work and also because there are a lot of other people out there already doing great (and not so great) fashion blogs.

Forgive me while I fiddle with the format of this blog…just trying to get it, (near) perfect…so that might take a while!
I’m actually quite curious myself as to how this is going to turn out….I see it as an evolutionary process (but with an audience)
However I have decided that…
- It should be topical
- It will have pictures painted or drawn by my good self.
- It will have some bearing on my own life and observations of…
- It will be humorous, entertaining and interesting….you can be the judge of this one.
- ….it might take a little while.
