<p>Company Magazine have dubbed their April 2010 issue &#8216;The Bloggers Issue&#8217;, which means it&#8217;s full of contributions, feature and quotes from all around blogosphere. My input was pretty small &#8211; I spoke a little about making money from blogging, which you can see a clipping of below.</p>
<p>I could ramble on about this topic for ages, but I think the other bloggers in the piece have given some really great tips, so I won&#8217;t!</p>
<p>I will just clarify that I never <em>actually</em> said selling your blog was the &#8220;most profitable&#8221; thing to do. It <em>can</em> be profitable, and I <em>did</em> sell my blog, but I still got to edit it as part of my job for the next few years, I didn&#8217;t just sell and walk away. If you&#8217;re going to sell outright, you need to bear in mind you&#8217;ll probably be giving up something you love and passing it over to someone who does things differently (if not worse) than you would. It&#8217;s not something to go into lightly and I don&#8217;t want to come across as someone who recommends selling sites for a quick buck. Think hard before you hand over any kind of power!</p>
<p>I was also quoted in Sian&#8217;s piece about women bloggers, which <a href="http://www.sianyland.com/2010/03/company-bloggers-issue.html">you can see on her blog</a>.</p>
<p>Company are now <a href="http://www.company.co.uk/other/blogging-competitions/v1">running a poll where you can vote for your favourite blogger</a> of all the ones featured in the issue. Given that I&#8217;m up against not only sites I <em>love</em> but also one that I <a href="http://www.domesticsluttery.com">write for,</a> I&#8217;m not going to beg for votes. There are plenty of talented, lovely people on the list from such different areas of the blogosphere, and all of them are deserving winners.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To say things are busy right now would be an understatement, so apologies for being so quiet. With the day job, plus all the other things I find it impossible to say no to, I&#8217;ve been really busy behind the scenes writing up a storm.</p>
<p>But I did want to stop by to quickly mention that I&#8217;m currently guest blogging over at the brand new <a href="http://blog.evans.co.uk/">Evans Fashion Fix blog</a>. It was a real honour to be asked to help out with the launch, and I&#8217;ve really enjoyed contributing to the blog.</p>
<p>I finish up and pass the baton on to another great blogger at the end of the week, but I will be back towards the end of March when hopefully I will have learned a lot more about the industry. Being involved in this project and throwing myself headfirst into the world of plus size fashion and size 16 supermodels has been a real eye opener, and I can&#8217;t wait to really get going with <a href="http://www.biggirlsbrowse.com">Big Girls Browse</a> in the next few months off the back of what I&#8217;ve learned.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still not sure I&#8217;ve got the tone of that site quite right, but after many discussions, twitter chats, emails and having read hundreds of amazing inspirational blogs, I think I now know what I want to do to fix that, so keep your eyes peeled!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also just written <a href="http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/uk-trends-with-gemma-cartwright-of-big-girls-browse-7179/">a Guest Curator post for the Etsy blog, The Storque</a>. I got to pick some of my favourite things on the site &#8211; difficult considering the wealth of amazing stuff that&#8217;s available from designers across the globe. Hopefully I&#8217;ve done some of them justice!</p>
