I'm thinking of hiring her for a brainstorming session because she really gets that lifestyle blogs are a completely different animal. Her latest ebook about telling your story really hit home for me. When I saw her on the Third Tribe Marketing forum, I was giddy that "one of us" was there to represent fashion/lifestyle/crafting.

Lately I've been really into <a href="http://www.taragentile.com/" rel="nofollow">Tara Gentile's</a> concept of getting more personal on your blog, and getting back to kind of where blogging started. (I'm thinking about Livejournal circa 2001 here...) I'm guilty of it myself, but yeah, we tend to fall into this rut where we follow all the rules and sort of forget to just be ourselves on our blogs. And isn't that what it's all about?
