What Kind Of Blog?

Been blogging for a month or so now and while am enjoying it greatly will admit to struggling as to where blog fits in vis a vis bloggingsphere. For example am I a crafting/design blog (see tutorial)? Or am I a leading independent voice in the online blogging fashion community (see photo of shoes)? A go-to site for inspirational parenting maybe (see post)? Or a Home Styling/Pets Enthusiast blog? Then again who is to say I can't be all? One line of interest I'd like to develop further in this blog is chronic illness. I've always had bit of an eye for the zietgest and honestly I really feel chronic illness is on the verge of trending any time now and thus could really position myself as someone with voice of substance. Having said that I wouldn't want to back this blog into a chronic illness niche per se. And in fact don't want to attract too many followers with actual chronic illness. Sick people are kind of depressing don't you think? I wish they would wash their hair more.
Anyway, in anticipation of the trending wave for chronic illness blogs that (in my opinion) is gathering pace right now as I type, I've had this really great regular feature post idea which I'm thinking of calling Chronically Ill Tuesdays. Sort of in manner of Etsy Friday or Thrifting Thursday. Where  every Tuesday I would share some stuff about chronic illness you might enjoy. Be it a helpful tip regarding a prying pharmacist or how you can take the pyjamas/dressing gown combo from day to night and back to day again. Of course the idea is still in it's infant stages. Like might do it on a Monday instead. Then I'd call it Chronically ill Monday.

  1. Hi Mia, if you want any tips on how one can take the pyjamas/dressing gown combo from day to night to day again Wayne is an expert. He does it from slack Saturday all the way through to slothful Sunday.

  4. How about "Well'ish Wednesday" or "Feeling Kinda-Fine Friday". Focus on being not quite well rather than sick, positive thinking and all that. "Sick with Style Saturday"

    Love the blog,

  6. Thanks Sonia, they are all awesome suggestions. Especially like Sick with Style Saturday combining my love of fashion with crappy health. As for Feeling fine Friday... hmmm not sure if that suits the whole brand I'm building up here - Like to think of my brand as more "Freakin' ill". Appreciate your input though.
