This made my day. And you are very right, having a connection and relationship with your readers is more rewarding than simply have a large number of readers. <br />XXAdelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359108159145501868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248099190016107897.post-21751577049422600002012-06-03T02:00:16.534-07:002012-06-03T02:00:16.534-07:00I found your post from guess what?? A reblog. LO...I found your post from guess what?? A reblog. LOL. I was a blogger back in 2009 and then quit for a while and just started up again late last year. Your words speak truth. In the world of fashion blogs, it is very rare that any of the comments received on a post have any mention of the words that accompany the pictures. I've actually taken notice of blog posts that solely contain photos without text at all, except for outfit details.<br /><br />Sometimes I struggle with what my absolute goal is with fashion blogging. I'm not a phisher so I don't care to be a mindless follower of blogs or do the old, "i'll follow you, if you follow me". I think I blog because I love what I wear. I love to style, and I find it inspiring to see others work their style.<br /><br />But like you said, there are so many who are just focused on looks, popularity, and monetization. And that's probably why it's so hard to "make it" as a fashion blogger these days.<br /><br />I think the biggest shift in having a successful blog is to worry less about the "reach" of your posts, and more about forming relationships with other bloggers. It says something about a commenter who takes the time to mention what I write or have an opinion on a question I ask. Those are the people I want visiting my blog. Sadly, there are less and less of those people, but even if my blog inspired just one individual, then I feel accomplished. :)<br /><br />Great post, Adelaide. And I hope my rambling made sense! <3<br /><br />toniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
