There are a lot of fashion blogs out in the blogospere. So when I decided to start my fashion blog, Chic Renegade, I knew that if I wanted to seriously compete for traffic, I had my work cut out for me.

Although a lot of fashion bloggers use Blogger’s Blogspot platform, I decided to use WordPress because I am a WordPress junkie!
