Mine have recently been personal finance stories for the most part: my own experiences related to personal finance and making money.  Or my opinions on stuff.

I feel mine is the same (although some people would say my tent pole is retirement).  Retirement is my goal but I write about money management I guess.

Your blog is pretty defined as well.  I'm trying to define myself better.  I think my worthwhile feeling comes from two angles.  If a reader was inspired to action or if my reader was entertained that their day is better than it was before reading my post.  The Holy Grail, maybe one day I can consistently do both!

I like how you clearly define your topics and you seem to be following it to a T!  I think I throw out these questions because I am trying to get a clearer picture for myself.  I seem to be going 40% personal finance topics, 40% personal development, and 20% entertainment.  Let's see if I stick with this or take a radical turn at the end of the year.

This means that it is going to be personal since women tend to be relationship driven, yet, informational. I become the most excited when a reader tries something that I have suggested and LOVES it. It makes blogging so worthwhile.

I would say my blog focuses mostly on good money management and being green. I often tie the two together. 60 percent or so would fall here. There other 40 is split between health tips, productivity, gardening, career, and frugality.

Hi Matt,

I think my loose definition of research is providing analysis and detailed breakdowns of concepts.  If I needed help with a research paper, I go to a "research" blog as a resource.  On the personal stories side, my example would be someone who had tons of debt and explains their process and experience to get out.  Hopefully their story provides inspiration and a model for others to follow.

Good perspective

Thanks for chiming in.  Great point about evergreen posts.  I may need to think longer about they way I tackle posts from my personal stories angle.  Will it stand the test of time?

]]> Sun, 14 Aug 2011 14:55:33 +0000 LaTisha @YoungFinances on Sub Categories https://yakezie.com/forums/bloggers-lair/sub-categories/#p35569 Bloggers Lair https://yakezie.com/forums/bloggers-lair/sub-categories/#p35569 I would definitely fall into the research category. I don't think I've shared many personal stories on my blog. I focus on 'evergreen' posts that would still be relevant in a few years.

If I had to pick a category it would be investing first then personal finance second.

I totally respect research blogs.  There is a lot of work involved.  I'm a bum, too.  Since I know I'm not a good researcher, I go the other route, personal stories, experiences, and opinions.

Perhaps I'm being too ambitious.  What do you think would be a good term to describe a combo blog like yours?  Part personal stories, part research?  Combo, hybrid?  Don't bother, too restrictive?

I kinda figured that, haha.  Guess I'm trying to figure where other more broad personal finance blogs stand.  Thanks!

I'm more of a personal stories and opinions blog, too.  Thanks!
