Thoughts on Blogosphere Magazine

28 Feb 2014


Us bloggers have created our own little community on the internet. We blog, share photos, tweet, youtube...the list goes on. But we have nothing tangible to our name. This is where Blogosphere comes in. A printed magazine about bloggers for bloggers. It's taken me a little while to jump on the bandwagon as the first magazine was actually launched back in October, but I'm so glad I have the magazines now.

Each magazine has contributions from bloggers across all genres showcasing their favourite blogs. Its a brilliant way to find new reads and learn a little more about the authors. They also add general blogging tips from 'agony aunt' Ellie of Xomisse. There is also a feature interview with a well-known blogger who also graces the front page of the magazine.

First up was Estée of Essie Button, second Sasha of Liberty London Girl and the recently published third issue featured Fleur of Fleur De Force (which is on my to-buy list!). Essie Button is one of my favourite bloggers and I really loved getting to know her more in the interview.

The whole magazine is really well thought out, with  interesting content all the way through. The magazine feels like amazing quality too, so I was shocked that it was only £4. It's SO worth your money especially if you're a blogger yourself or just want to find some new blogs to read.

I'm definitely subscribing :).

Amazine - Create Your Own Magazine!

4 Feb 2014


I was originally going to post a review on my Enrapture Totem Styler tonight, but instead I got distracted by this super cool website I found! When scrolling through Instagram I noticed that Company magazine were putting on a competition for the best magazine created using Amazine. I'd never heard of it but was totally intrigued.

Ever since creating Dress It Up I've been more and more drawn to the world of journalism and specifically magazines. Blogs in a way already are a kind of magazine, one that is so personal and unique to each blogger. I love this idea of creating magazine type content and soo wish I had realised my interest in it before I went to University.

Amazine is a way for me to express this interest! By 'clipping' my own blog material and other content from across the blogosphere and amazine world you can create your own personal magazine. I love the way it looks, with pictures and text placed at angles so distinctive to magazine pages. Its really fun to create, and a really great way to promote your blog content on another platform.

If you add the 'Story-Bookmarklet' button to your web browsers bookmarks you can clip photos straight from your blog meaning that like Pinterest people can click through the picture to your blog.

Am I late to the bandwagon with this one?? Let me know if you already have a 'magazine', I'd love to follow yours! :) My username is aimeelf6 if you want to find me!
