... I don't know.
Travel and Toile is currently having a bit of an identity crisis.
What is it?
It's not a fish...
It's not a fashion blog. I don't show photographs of myself, or anyone else modeling cute outfits. It's not a lifestyle blog either. Though it was a photography blog for awhile, it has morphed away from that. I write too much to justify calling Travel and Toile a photoblog these days. Also, I sometimes sacrifice photographs of quality so that I can have something more interesting to say. By that, I mean that I don't necessarily post my best shots, I post what I think will serve the overall entry.
Hmm... entry...Is it my diary? No, I don't write what I do every day as it happens. I kind of write what I'm thinking about and couple it with photographs I have taken, or pick out some photographs I have and come up with something to say that will weave it all together.

But, what is the classification for that? Is there one? I write a blog... blog. Have I allowed myself to be so random that I defy classification? I know I'm nerdy and let that show though, but have I only overextended myself by writing about what I'm thinking?
I keep coming back to the idea that I'm an awful photographer, a terrible writer, and an ugly, good-for-nothing, lousy web page designer and overall person. But, I do have some readers, so that obviously isn't it. My readers are way too nice, classy and cultured to be reading a crappy blog.
Maybe I don't advertise and put my blog out there enough? I feel like I do though.
My conclusion... my skirt is in a bunch.
My actual conclusion: I have no niche. This blog is rather general haha.

Personal opinion...I believe that Travel and Toile is a conglomeration of all things fabulous - plain and simple! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it is a travel blog, even when the photos are from NYC or PA, they are usually someplace interesting and fun! or you can just call it a post modern blog, since it defies classification!

Don't worry too much. Blogs are almost always in crisis. Almost by definition. I think about closing mine three times a day...
ReplyDeleteKeep on blogging & thanks for the kind comments on my own blog.
