A Week of Blogsperiment - The Reveal



Day 1
So curvy divas, getting straight to the point, I did the blog-speriment because I wanted to see if my viewership/readership would grow or decrease by doing only photo blogging with links, and/or very little information.



Day 2
                                     

As a blogger, as much as I do enjoy doing what I do, if I say  that it doesn't matter whether I have a readership or not, I would be lying.  Every writer wants, needs to know that their work is appreciated and liked...yes, and/or loved...even if only by one or two people!  That knowledge is motivating enough to give us that secret smile of work well-done!  Since I've started this blog my readership/clicks have grown. Yes that secret smile is on my face as I write that fact!

I love reading other blogger's work.  I admire those who are able to do what they do and make a living from it.  I also like looking at how their site is set up and comparing their blog's look to mine.  There are some real professionals online who are the ultimate bloggers that I dream to be one day, on my own terms of course!

Day 3

There are fashion bloggers who post outfits they wear, finds they buy and celebrity designer wares.  Some of them post really lovely photographs which garners a lot of readership, and they also garner everything that goes along with having a large readership.  Some bloggers will post photos and a description of the clothing, and where to find, cost, etc.  Some will have a story to tell, and/or write up an article in their style to post with their photographs.  Some do not.  It just depends on the blogger's style. However, for some, no matter what they do, they have a large following no matter what they do.


Day 4


I post photographs with my articles.  Sometimes the photographs are linked from the sources that I am writing about, at other times, they are my own, sometimes they are from the research I have done.  Some of my articles, depending on the topic will have a large viewership, and some do not.  I have learned that it just depends on the topic I am writing about, and whether it is interesting or not, that garners the readership that I have.

Day 5

On day one, the first day of the experiment, I garnered a readership of 23, page view of 80.  On Day 2, there were 13 readership; Day 3, 14 readership; Day 4, 20, and I noted a page view of 107; and on the final day of my week-long blogsperiment there were 5, at the time that I checked earlier that day.  Below however, shows the final results:

Day 5: Week of Photo Blogging: Hats                           18 reader count 
Day 4: Week of Photo Blogging: The Look                   29 reader count
          Day 3: Week of Photo Blogging: Trendy Outfits            19 reader count
          Day 2: Week of Photo Blogging: Spring Trend              19 reader count
         Week of Photo Blogging: Statement Necklaces              27 reader count



Unfortunately, overall, I didn't make a note of each day's page views for each day of the experiment.  What did I learn?  I learned that you, my curvy divas, love to learn "stuff" to coin a word.  You don't just like to see photographs, you want to know details, details, details.  I find that when I write, giving my "spin" on the topic at hand, that garners the most readership!

We are fashionistas, with a passion for learning! We don't want to only look beautiful, we have brains behind the beauties! The 'nuts & bolts' of this blog-speriment is if you are a blogger, you have to put the work in to your blog. Having new content on a regular basis is a big plus. That is how you gain readership, and also a loyal following!  If you have read with me up to the end of this rather long article, more kudos to you!

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Love Wedges? How to wear them!

I have this thing with heels that when I mention it to anyone, they look at me as if I'm weird.  I have to, HAVE TO wear heels, at least 80% of the time.    The reason why I have to wear heels a lot is because I'm flat-footed. Yes, I have very low arch , so low that if I wear flats for two to three days straight without any height in heel, my feet will hurt and then I have to wear heels to make my feet feel better. Weird, or a more serious condition? Who knows?!   I wear heel height from 4inches to 6 inches! Nope, I haven't mastered the 7inch heel, and I won't even try.  As a curvy girl, a six-inch heel is the height where I stop! I like wedges, high heels, and stiletto heels.  With some platform heels, popularly called wedges, the heel can be low, or high; however, the main thing is, the heel will balance the height of the heel so that you can walk with confidence!      On about.com, Desiree Stimpe...

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry. Christina Aguilera at the AMAs in 2012 & 2013. ...
