As a beginner in the blogosphere, this post proved to be truly helpful!

I have trouble with really determining what my blog is truly about and I struggle with finding a theme and plan for where I want my blog to go. I belive that no topic should really be off limits if it happens to be important to you. Sure, some themes are taboo and maybe not for everyone’s eyes but by putting a little disclaimer and adding a “more” bar to your post to prevent those who don’t want to read that post from seeing something they wish they hadn’t!

Stay true to yourself as a writer and artistic individual.

I was wondering,how can eg. a certain Kardashian on tv be superior to lets say a cardiothoracic surgeon or a astrophysicist or even a social worker.

My byline to my blog is “Fashion. Music. Family. Life.” I started it as a way to showcase my style, and decided to include other aspects of my life to bring a more personal spin on my blog. I consider myself to be a personal style/lifestyle blogger because I incorporate my family and my love of music along with my personal style and fashion posts. But that’s where I draw the line, and I don’t feel the need to go into anything further. I will include little bits and pieces of what’s happened to me personally (like when I took the Whole30 challenge with bloggers like Vahni from Grit and Glamour), but that’s it. Blogging is at the discretion of the blogger, and if that blogger wants to include their sex life, then that’s up to them. I’m not one of them, and I don’t think that should make me refrain from calling myself a “lifestyle” blogger.

I wouldn’t post about sex topics either. That is not only my business, but my husband’s privacy too. If we happen to have an argue, I don’t post about that either. That doesn’t mean that we don’t have a normal marriage.
Besides a blog is a public thingy. I will not post something I would not say in front of my friends, mom, dad, in laws, boss… !

Those people who do post about things that others consider as private – that is fine as well. Each individual draws the line by herself / himself.

I think the point of having a blog is to post what you want, like sure no restrictions on those who do post about these things, but who cares if you dont? it’s your blog, do what you like.

I think this is a bit ridiculous, it is like assuming because outfit bloggers don’t post pictures of the underwear they are wearing under their clothes, that they don’t wear underwear!

Very interesting. I think bloggers should post what they feel comfortable with the rest of the world knowing, but I think it is a bit of a stretch to say that lifestyle bloggers who don’t post about sex are “curating a perception of domestic bliss, without ever acknowledging that ‘physical pleasure exists, never mind its key role in domestic bliss.'” Why should posting about what I do in the kitchen obligate me to post about what I do in the bedroom?

I don’t think the lack of posts on sexuality is because a blogger is a prude, but because blogs are more personal than say, Cosmo, so things are more likely to stay private, even if it’s a more general post. The issue at hand here is blogging versus “real journalism,” because articles about sex in publications like Cosmopolitan don’t “reflect” back on the personal life of the writer as much as a blog would – even if the blog isn’t a personal publication.
