Enthusiast Blog

The topic I settled on for my enthusiast blog is 1990's (U.S.) culture; as a whole, this topic is probably a bit broad to work with, at least at first. But as a member of Generation Y (born ~ late 70's - ~ early 90's), more specifically, a child of the 90's, I have many ideas of the kind of posts I will make in my blog. Main ideas would be reflection on popular movies and television, music, trends, people, events, and so on. The biggest problem I anticipate with this is organization and a main idea or theme for each post. Since I have an abundance of knowledge of the 90's, I feel that this topic won't be so broad as to be unwieldly, but won't be too specific either as I'm not concentrating on one partciular facet of 90's (although 90's movies itself isn't too narrow a subject, either).

The majority of the audience that I aim to serve through my blog are my coevals (ha ha, a $10 word! Note - coeval: member of the same generation/person of approximately the same age). What I hope to accomplish with my audience is creating a sense of nostalgia and fond recollections of popular culture while they were growing up. I hope that the content of what I post will be things that the audience will find enjoyable and will want to see and read about, and reminisce about. People who aren't typically prone to nostalgia or who weren't fond of the 90's would probably not be thrilled with the kind of content I plan on posting, but I hope and plan on serving my audience well with posts about things remembered from a childhood in the same decade.

Since I aim to make people reminisce about their experiences while growing up, there's naturally going to be an air of nostalgia and fondness for the material being highlighted in my posts. But I also plan on "conversing" with the audience in a relatable way, with a knowledgable but casual, everyman kind of manner. This is something I've been able to accomplish occasionally in my writing, and I found the effect on the readers was quite pleasing-creating a feeling of familiarity and actual, casual conversation. If I'm able to reproduce this manner in my blog, I will be very pleased, and I hope the readers will be as well.
The design on my blog is not something I'm positive about yet...writing is my forte, design is not. My plan is for a design with a casual, comfortable feeling, nothing too serious or intimidating-that isn't the point of the blog. I want the ethos of the blog to be informed but friendly and engaging, and conducive to feelings of fondness and camraderie as part of a generation.
