I didn't really think about it before, but having a way to look back on my projects, research and what I've learned is another great reason for having a blog. <br /><br />Isabella - I knew there had to be a catch with sponsors! ;)vintagevisions27https://www.blogger.com/profile/16769861744181538664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907568970632310398.post-88406698929228844962012-02-22T23:00:40.664-05:002012-02-22T23:00:40.664-05:00-How did you feel when you first started your blog...-How did you feel when you first started your blog and what made you decide to create your blog?<br />Hi! I hope you don't mind me answering. <br /><br />I never have had a very sizeable following. My LJ blog has maybe 100 or so followers - with a core of 35. It took about a year and a half to get any sort of following. For tumblr, it was a lot quicker. Blogspot is still pretty small for me - mostly because I have a lot of google readers and people following the same blog via tumblr or twitter. However, I'm not concerned about the amount of followers. Most of my posts are for me as a way to keep up on research. It helps me to go back and see what I've learned over the years and remember big events better. That's what I enjoy about blogging - that and the wonderful friendships I have made over the internet that have turned into RL friendships. <br /><br /><br />I don't understand the idea of sponsors unless you are a professional blogger (ie, that's how you pay your mortgage/rent). I don't want someone else telling me what to post. If I feel like I want to make 20 posts about my pup or my cat, I can. With a sponsor, you are limited by what they tell you to write.Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420037377392425312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907568970632310398.post-42376839302492596462012-02-22T22:31:45.913-05:002012-02-22T22:31:45.913-05:00I started my blog to separate RL/fannish stuff fro...I started my blog to separate RL/fannish stuff from academic/costuming - I've been using Livejournal since 2004, and I have a lot of friends there that I met through various fandoms, and most of them are interested in this stuff but not <i>really</i> interested, so I wanted someplace where I didn't feel guilty that my readers were bored with me. I also wanted to be able to point people to my historical fashion stuff without connecting them to my LJ. And everyone seemed to be moving to Blogger then.<br /><br />(I don't have a sizable following, probably because I don't post pictures of sewing projects - I just don't have the time, or the money, or the reason right now.)<br /><br />I enjoy doing research, and sharing my findings with other people. I like being helpful! And I enjoy the potential for sew-alongs and group projects.Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596345781746342408noreply@blogger.com
