I don't think this has been posted yet, bu here's a really interesting interview with Susie Bubble (also on here!) by The Business of Fashion Business, which could be useful.

im getting embarassed of my blog. cause its soo.. ugh. overdone.

however, its actually kinda big these days, though the amount of pageloads have gone down a bit. 1-2 weeks ago, i had an average of 800-1100 pr day, now its only 600-700, but then again i haven't posted frequently. i have been featured in a few articles, both 'irl' and online, so it's kinda cool. haven't made any money though, but i get a discount in a few stores.

i only read 'personal' blogs nowadays. blogs about trends and shows bore me to death.

I think my celeb fashion blog has individual originality... but a bit plain?
I'm just focusing on fashion reality

[verymoni]

I think making polls, contests and quizzes is a good idea to improve a blog... what do you think?

[ShoeLady]

such good advice!!! thanks guys. I think now I just have to decide what to blog about, find my niche. If anyone is looking for a blog partner, or has a great idea PM me!

I have a blog for teenage fashionistas @ http://misscouturable.blogspot.com (other than teenfashionista.com, there aren't many blogs for teenagers who are serious about the fashion industry)

It is fairly new though...how can I improve it/promote it (other than update it more -- I'm working on that !)? Someone told me that Blogger is shunned in the blogging sphere -- I originally got Wordpress but I didn't know how I could change the layout of Wordpress the way I wanted to. Thank you!

I dont really have a fashion blog, but i do have a myspace fashion site. Its kind of an eclectic one too with various links to different sites, and hundreds of photos organized from those different sites. But im from a small town area, Humboldt County, CA, and started adding a bunch of locals. And you know what? People here are really frustrating to work with. They're constantly messaging me "WHO IS THIS?!" or "I DONT GET IT." The only thing that people really care about in this area is animal rights, environmental rights, and farms.
I would be considered really superficial (which im really not) in this area.
I mean, is this happening to everyone else?
is anybody else getting really negative comments about your site?
Maybe i should just get rid of it.

oh that's terrible, malina Are all of these comments from people in your town? How did they get a hold of the address
I haven't told anyone where I live that I even have a blog
At first I thought I don't get any visitors, but I recently installed a program in the blog and I received many visitors last night, mostly from Northern Europe I was surprised-- I guess they just don't comment, or don't know what to comment about

I really like your blog though! You and me have the same style! lol

Anyways, I'm thinking of doing a fashion blog as well, but I can't come up with any ideas on what to write! Everything is all covered!
