Having an idea of where your blog fits in the blogging world is a really useful thing when it comes to thinking about topics to write about and creating your blog posts. It also gives you a general idea of the kind of readers you may get and what kind of audience to aim your posts towards. Defining your blog is something to look at, maybe once every few months, to see if your post topics have caused a shift into another theme of blog from when you started, help to re-assess what works and what doesn’t and is also really useful when crafting future content for your site.
Today I am examining my blog, where it currently sits in terms of theme of blog and determining the definition of my blog.
At present my blog sits in the lifestyle theme of blogs. A lifestyle blog can incorporate many different topics and subjects but usually cover things that the blogger is interested in. My blog covers topics such as mental health, arts and crafts, reviews, interior design, decorating, stationery, planning, organising and recipes. I chose the theme of a lifestyle blog as content can be vast and not tied to just one subject. Being a lifestyle blogger gives me more freedom in what I write about and share. I knew, before I started, that I wanted to be able to write about a range of different things including help and advice articles and sharing my own opinions.
I can’t see my blog moving from the Lifestyle category but it will be interesting to see where it sits in a few months time.
What type of blog do you have? And how do you define it?
🙂 My blog falls within the Miscellaneous category; I am interested in numerous things.
I love your blog! Especially the posts about blogging! You always post things that are really interesting and that I learn from! Xxx
🙂 Thank you, Suzi!
Lifestyle too including some of the topics you mention but also others such as music, tips and eco issues. I find my blog constantly evolving.
Same! The whole “lifestyle” genre can include so many different things and that makes it so interesting! Xxx
The best thing about my blog is that is has no definition haha! It’s just my own personal journal so I write whatever, whenever, and if people don’t like it or can’t follow then that’s ok lol but I do think I have a blog that most people can enjoy.
You definitely have a blog most people can enjoy! I love following you and reading it! Xxx
Thanks! I enjoy reading and following you too!! 💛
My blog has always been pretty mental health-focused, and that’s unlikely to ever change, but I don’t feel constrained by that if I feel like writing about other things.
I really like your blog! And your posts are really well thought out and written! Thank you for sharing! Xxx
Thanks! 😊
I don’t think my blog falls into any particular category. Sometimes it’s humor. Sometimes it’s movies/TV. Sometimes it’s personal observation. I’ll never be able to monetize the thing because I’ll never be able to stick to one thing.
Lol! I don’t think I could either (aside from maybe through adverts and affiliate links perhaps) I love everything. You blog about! Xxx
Thanks!
I call my blog a ‘True Life ‘ blog which fits in Lifestyle, Journal, etc.
That makes sense! I really like reading all your posts! Xxx
Thank You
I couldn’t pin point for the longest time and finally settled on a lifestyle blog because I want to be able to blog about the topics I’m most interested in.
Thanks for sharing! I think that is how a lot of lifestyle blogs are born! Xxx
