i tend to agree with chassity. blogging has been hurt by pinterest and by reposting. everything is over exposed and because of that, we get tired of things so much quicker than we would have 2 or 3 years ago. the unoriginality is not only uninspiring, but begins to induce an annoyance or eye roll. i mean, im personally exhausted from seeing chevron and turquoise… :)

to be honest, i’ve noticed that my best posts come from when im not reading a ton of other blogs. i write when im inspired by something in my brain instead of something that i see… then i find the images to go with it. it makes me a really crappy blog reader, but i try to compensate by staying engaged on other social media platforms.

ok… that’s all. and hey yotchy annonymous up above, you can kiss it. kthnx.

Wed, 05 Sep 2012 00:04:00 +0000 http://akstudio.coreytenold.com/lets-talk/#comment-11638 i struggle with this from time to time. i recently went out of town for a week and didn’t blog, and i kind of loved it. i was still checking in on my blog roll…but i felt everything was the same and i was just over it. i have a small blog following and sometimes feel like it is all about the “big blogs” and people just rotate between talking about each other. as i’m sure many others experience, my more personal posts get the most feedback. with that said however, atlantic-pacific never posts a personal word, yet her blog is original and i look at it every day and she has a massive following. Original content may be hard to come by, but your original words are not. everyone’s perspective is different and that is what sets us apart from each other. i think if you sit down at your computer and have to make up a blog post just to post something that becomes transparent. if you have nothing to say…say so! it happens! although can you imagine Blair Eadie posting ‘i had nothing to wear today, sorry!’

I don’t repost stuff that Isn’t mine or my idea. Its like your cheating yourself. I design my own and doesn’t copy someone else’s creation.

There are serious blogs out there that are nothing but glorified pin boards, and that job- curating the content- was totally acceptable way to run a blog 3-6 years ago when this whole thing started. Now its just, well, not. But so many blogs still do it, and are still VERY popular. Have you noticed there are also insanely popular INSTAGRAM accounts that dont take their own photos? They are just like Tumblrs reposted into a mobile setting. Disheartening. (But there is something to be said for those that REALLY have good taste.)

I also find it disheartening that everything is getting so much more… GLOSSY. Everyones mood boards look like magazine editorials… The blogging world is over-saturated with pretty content that doesn’t have much perspective.

Whatever… those who create will keep on creating and those that repost will repost.

Name and shame those who use your work without giving you credit.

I find that it is impossible for anything to feel “new” – when I get print magazines, I feel like I’ve seen most everything in them online somewhere already(and I HATE when bloggers post a whole story from a major magazine–especially when it happens before mine has come in the mail!) I definitely repost images on my blog, though largely published in magazines, not from other blogs, and always ALWAYS use them to illustrate a point or tip or the content of that post. I never simply post images from elsewhere. Ever. And I try to be good about crediting, though pinterest has made me lazier about this, hate to admit.

I tend to read blogs where 1) I like the voice of the writer and/or feel inspired by their style or projects; 2) I feel like I am learning things. I aspire to hit one or both of these marks on a regular basis!

Also, I feel like blogs have homogenized style, and I see the same fabrics and items over and over and over again. I think it has made it too easy for people to lose their own point of view, especially when these look a like spaces all get equally praised, since their is no such thing as constructive critique in blog land.

Thanks for bringing this up. As a quite small blog, I never feel that I have the platform for these topics.

Ripping off others’ work is a great way to accomplish this.

Thank you for expressing this so eloquently.

As someone who puts food on her table from her design work and creativity it really bites to see someone else copy your design and then get other people to promote it as if it is original. I feel passionately that bloggers should NOT blog about projects that are not credited to their inspirations when it is so obviously a copy. To do so is to undermine their own reputation as a blogger. It wouldn’t be allowed by a magazine so why should bloggers be allowed to do it.

GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE!
