Ultimately I've decided to focus on one thing for this
blog. I plan to discuss the places I’ve visited and the places I hope to visit
in my life time, and save fashion and music to discuss more at another time. I
felt that writing about the places I’ve visited and the places I hope to visit will
inspire people to view the world in a different light. I also chose to write
about traveling because no one place is a like and because I think that a
person is a product of their environment. By discussing where I’ve traveled and
where I want to travel, you are able to understand my past, present, and future
self. Discussing travel seemed the best way to be personal with my audience, as
well as educate my audience.
I plan for
my audience to be around my age or older than my age. This is for obvious
reasons, as college students and adults are ones to plan their travels. I plan
to keep this blog organized in the same format. The reason for this is that I
feel it is the easiest to navigate and for readers to find the places they are most
interested. I also changed the background from pink to blue, to make it more
appealing for men and woman readers alike. I added a picture of the globe to make it more visually appealing, and as a way to incorporate media into my
travel blog. I also have added a subheading in order to make the topic of this
blog clearer.
I definitely think that there's a lot of potential in blogging about travel (something I only ever really get to do for business/conferences, and for every time I get to go somewhere like say, Las Vegas, I also get stuck visiting Richmond, Kentucky for conferences.... hardly glamorous....). I think you've also got a good handle on your potential audience here, but make sure you keep trying to think about it in terms of the readings we've done and who your audience might be and try to really refine it and figure it out. I'd also recommend looking around a bit more at the potential themes and customization options for Blogger (there should be a whole ton of them) and I strongly recommend digging in and making this space a bit more "your own." Blogger is great since it's run by Google and they're not out to gouge people for money just for their own profit, so there's a ton of completely free customization options; look around, try to Google some tutorials as well! You're off to a good start, but I want to see where things grow out from here!
