    Hi everyone!

    Here's my fashion blog: http://fashion-felines.blogspot.com/

    I've been having trouble lately with inspiration! I find it difficult to blog daily- anyone got any tips on how they keep their content fresh? I don't want to be writing the same thing over and over!

    xxxx
    Heyy! Firstly I love your blog! Your content is really good - I loved the religion in fashion piece and the one about red dresses!

    With regards to keeping content fresh, don't post every day if you have nothing to say You're morel likely to keep readers by posting less but having good content than you are posting every day just to 'keep on the radar'

    Keep up the good work! I'll definitely be following

    Thanks so much! Glad you like the look of it!

    Thanks for the advice- I guess posting every day would mean losing originality/quality. Definitely something I don't want to do!

    Love the look of your blog too- That picture of the carrot is hilarious! Ha ha!

    So, I've got my blog up and running now. I have 6 proper posts and I would really like some feedback, particularly from people interested in vintage stuff.
    Any recommendations on subject material? Any opinions on colour sceme and fonts and general formatting of the blog? basically any opinions would be helpful. don't be afraid to say if you do think something is working.

    still would be interested in feedback from people, particuarly from people who are interested in vintage stuff

    Hey! You've got some good content there- I like that your posts aren't all about clothes. Posting old videos and songs is a great idea to mix up content but sticking to the theme of vintage- might steal that idea for my blog!

    In terms of content:
    I noticed in your first post you said you'd be writing about your charity shop finds- definitely start on that! I've done a few in the past which have been successful and I always LOVE to see what other people have found in charity shops! So that's always a great idea.

    In terms of layout:
    A nice layout always draws people in! It's an easy way to make your blog look professional. Yours at the moment is nice and simple but could probably be improved.
    Picking a colour scheme is always a good idea.
    Shabby blogs is a great place to get a nice background and a lot of them have a got a great 'vintagey' feel to them:
    http://shabbyblogs.com/?page_id=108
    After that make a nice matching header and you're well away!

    You've made a great start! My advice would be keep experimenting with layout and keep up the great content!

    Will be following you xxx

    P.S. I loved South Riding- her outfits were to DIE for!

    Thanks so much for all that. Yeh the reason i've not done charity shop stuff yet is because i'm so lazy with uploading photos from my camera hahaa i'll be posting some of my own vintage/charity shop finds soon EDIT: Have now posted, enjoyyyy
    I love those backgrounds you posted, i'm just wary of overpowering the post content if you see what I mean
    I know, i was having a stylegasm all the way through those 3 episodes of South Riding

    Thanks for the thought though, i do appreciate that comment, even if it was made on here . Sorry to hear you couldn't comment on my blog, i'll try to look into that. I'll check out your blog too, by the way .
    Hiya. I just discovered your blog recently, and I really like it . The design and the content is all very good . But I'm also having the trouble of commenting, as I can't find any links on your blog to leave a comment. I think I contacted you on Twitter about it too, but I'm not sure you got the message (I'm new to Twitter so I don't get it completely)

    Hey, thank you very much . I know, I noticed that the other day, I'm trying to work on that, but I've not really had much time recently, but hopefully it will be fixed soon. I didn't notice your message on twitter either , but maybe that's just me not looking properly. Thanks though, and good start to your blog .

    Hey Mine's pretty new... I don't keep up with it as much as I should do, and I'm probably posting in the wrong section, as it's not really a fashion blog, more just musings and moanings and such

    But feel free to take a nosy and comment with what you think, I'd appreciate any feedback...
