38 Comments / Blogging Tutorials, Guest Posts / /

There are a lot of fashion blogs out in the blogospere.

I must admit that although I only started the blog about a month and a half ago, I have a little more experience in traffic generation being that I have been blogging for three years and this is my third blog. Although a lot of fashion bloggers use Blogger’s Blogspot platform, I decided to use WordPress because I am a WordPress junkie! Before I actually started my fashion blog, I had an idea of what functions and design elements I wanted since I am so familiar with WordPress and a good amount of its plugins.
