UPDATE: TODAY I HAVE POSTED ON THE TRENDS PAGE!
This is sort of a major overhaul and a new concept for my blog. I guess they call it a "blog-azine" or "blogzine". Here is the way I'm interpreting this new trend.
To digress, I became disenchanted with the whole blog thing. I was searching for meaning. (I know sounds a little deep...what can I say?) I read IFB's articles looking for inspiration, and decided what I would really like is an over-50 magazine. Why not try and create a blog with similar characteristics? What makes a magazine? To me, organized ideas and great pictures. Well, I can organize and soon I hope to have great pictures also.
I will be using my home page like a magazine cover and table of contents. New articles/pictures will be in my pages. I am going to organize ideas/styles and hopefully it will be a resource for inspiration. Information at your finger-tips! The cover page may remain the same for a couple of weeks, so check in the pages for new info. I will let you know somehow, not sure yet, of new stuff.
Hope it works out and let me know what you think! To make it easier also, I have added "reaction" buttons to make it quicker just to say a quick "Hi!"
Paula! FABULOUS! I can't wait to see this evolve!! Hugs! Serene
ReplyDeleteWe'll be talking again soon!
Deleteback over 10 years ago, (before blogging), I approached a woman from UMaine, who publishes a magazine, to help me develop a magazine for women over 50 that would include fashion advice (among other topics). she told me that idea would never work...and then 2 years later MORE appeared on the magazine racks ...
ReplyDeleteif you have an idea, run with it. don't let anyone say you can't do something you feel strongly about.
I live in Bangor, Maine, but I grew up in Saugus, MA. I've been reading your blog for a few years and really missed you while you were gone fishing. I'm glad that you are well and back to writing.
I don't write a blog, so will have to send this to you as anonymous.
Thanks so much and I'm so glad to hear from you! So true about the evolution of ideas and yes, I'm going for it!
DeleteThanks for sticking by while I was fishing and thanks again for commenting!
Paula
I missed you when you were gone and am looking forward to your new magazine. MORE is one of my favorite magazines.
ReplyDeleteI just wish it had more fashion...hence this! Altho it'll be only me for now--maybe in the future I'll incorporate all over-50 bloggers!
DeleteI missed the community--thanks for missing me!
I can hardly wait to see what you do with this Paula....you are so creative, I bet it will be excellent. This has been a dream of mine the whole time I have been blogging and balancing my time with family and work has just not allowed me to work it the way I desire...so I am anxious to see how you do. I could even see several of us combining efforts into one online publication at some point! I wish you much success and am so glad you are back!
ReplyDeleteI see that vision too Pam. I don't know if I could handle something like that, but I could certainly do the artistic stuff behind it. As it is now, blogger is limiting my vision...that's ok for now tho. I just still feel I have something I want to share!
DeleteThanks Pam for your support. You've always been a great cheerleader!
my previous posting makes it sound like I started MORE magazine, but I did not. I had the same idea as whoever it was that actually did start it. I just didn't follow my vision. it was my intended message that you follow yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
DeleteCool idea! I look forward to exploring your revamped site.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to having you explore!
DeleteGreat idea and will be following closely as your creativity unfolds.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judith!
DeleteLike your new blogazine format. Good for you for finding a niche and making it happen!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLet's see how it works~
DeleteThanks paula
That sounds like a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely intrigued!
ReplyDeletewill posts show up in the same rss news feed? that's how get notified new posts have been published. your idea does sound like just the thing.
ReplyDeletetHATS going to be the problem I think, If i leave the main page as like the cover and dont change it, it will remain the same on the feed, I'm afraid. I may have to change the main page still. Today, I just made a headline that the post will be in the "trends" page today. Maybe google support can suggest something? lol
DeleteI am very much looking forward to this. Love your sensibility, so I'm sure it will be great!
ReplyDeleteHi anne! thanks and must stop by!
DeleteLooking forward to reading more.
