There are many things I’m looking forward to in the year 2010. I want to finish my second year of University (assuming all exams go well), go on holiday if I can afford it, and see my hair reach waist length. I want to go shopping with my sister when she visits me at University, and take part in NaNoWriMo. I hope it will be a good year.

But I have a newborn blog that needs a lot of nurturing yet before she grows up, and since I’ve only been blogging less than a month, she is still in the formation stages. And I got to wondering what my blog is looking forward to in 2010. So, this year, I’m hoping that the following things will happen:

1. Find my camera, and post regular outfit posts. — the world of personal style blogs thrives on outfit posts. They provide me with so much eye candy and inspiration, and yet my own blog is severely lacking in them. I like writing these long-winded text posts, but I know the value of images and short, sweet messages, and I would really like to make my blog about 50-50 long posts to outfit images, which probably means eventually about two outfit posts a week.

2. My first comment on a fashion post from someone I don’t know. — I have a couple of comments on my ‘Has political correctness really gone mad?’ post from people I don’t know — which is great, it’s amazing to think people are actually interested in what I have to say! But I want to carve this place out as mostly a fashion blog, so I am really hoping to have a comment from someone I don’t know on an entry in my ‘Fashion & Personal Style’ category in the coming year.

3. Making my way onto a fashion blogger’s blogroll. – My lovely boyfriend has a link to me on his blog, which I appreciate. But I’m not too sure that our target audiences are one and the same! This year, I would love to make it into the blogroll of a fashion blogger. It would make my day.

4. Writing a post worth sending to a friend. — I would love people to come here simply for my opinions and chatter and photographs, but I’m sure that I’m not, in myself, quite that interesting! The key purpose of the internet is sharing information, and I hope that in 2010 I can write a post that is helpful enough that people will refer back to it later, whether it is a crafty tutorial, a compilation of helpful links, or anything else.

5. Getting a Google PageRank. — That grey bar I see when I visit my blog is a reminder of how far I have left to go. However low the number is that appears, I would just love to see a number.

So, those are my blogging ‘resolutions’ for this year — and I have to admit, they’re more fun and inspiring than the ‘real world’.
