I’ve been trying to revamp what my blog is for me for the entirety of 2018. I like a lot of things so it’s always been hard to try and have a “brand.” Well, I’m semi-throwing that out the window and doing what I want.
I’m changing my Facebook page and this blog from “Creative Imaginations” to “According to Megan.” Creative Imaginations just wasn’t fitting anymore for this blog. I used to do a ton of poetry and short little excerpts. So it made sense then. I created this blog in 2011 and picked a title on a whim, never thinking too much about it. I didn’t know a lot about social media. I didn’t understand much about marketing.
Oh times are a-changin’.
I have found myself always getting asked for recommendations, whether someone is going on vacation to somewhere I have been, or what local spot to try out, or what festival is going on, or even what wines would be the best for them. I really enjoy doing that. It didn’t really dawn on me that I could just be making my posts more about this. Especially because it is very easy to add links and have it be a very nice reference.
I started to put some of my recommendations on Instagram — that’s where this idea started to blossom. At first, I was going to try and just stick to Kenosha, but that’s not me. I love travelling. Josh and I go somewhere every year. We do a few-mini weekend road trips, but we fly one place every year. There was no way I could just market myself to just Kenosha.
Plus, I know a few amazing Instagramers and bloggers who already do that.
Two other passions of mine are photography and running. I joined the Kenosha Running Club this year and PhotoKenosha last year. KRC has been just absolutely life-changing. (That is another blog itself… so stay tuned!!) And I’ve learned so much in photography. (Even more blogs to come!) I couldn’t pick just one of these to talk about!
I tried thinking of a name, but I didn’t want to try and get “trapped” with only writing about one thing. I even tried combine a few names together – like running and photos. I didn’t like that either. There was no way that I could combine all the words that I could use to describe this blog.
“According to Megan” was born.
What you’ll expect to find me writing about:
- Running
- Photography
- Kenosha
- Travel (tips, places, recommendations along the way)
- Wine (and other alcohol related things)
- Relationships (i get asked this a lot because Josh is introverted and I am not. Among a few other things as well, but that’s the biggest one.)
- … and who knows what else!
What will remain the same:
- My photography blog (click) and my photography IG (click) will both remain under “Creative Imaginations” since that is what makes the most sense!
- This blog will keep the same url, but I’ll be revamping the photos at some point.
- #Caffeinatedopinions (click) will still be active, but with no set schedule. I don’t have near the interest that I thought I would. And that’s totally okay! Live and learn!
I have my first official post as “According to Megan” set to go up Sunday. ❤
XOXO,
Megs
Kenosha? I am about to move away from there… I just finished a 2 year teaching position at Carthage College!
Move away? Where are you headed?
I will be moving to Eau Claire. For how long have you been in Kenosha?
Nice! I’ve of my friends resides in EC! I was born and raised in Racine so I frequented Kenosha often. I’ve been an official resident since Aug 2013.
