My Blogging Goals (500th Post!)

Believe it or not, this is infact my 500th blog post on Dainty Ditsy. 500th. Isn't that kinda crazy? I cannot quite believe that I have now posted to this very 'ere little corner of the Internet a grand total of half a thousand times. Obviously, I really wanted to mark the occasion - as I did with my 100th post that I did back here - and after some thinking, I decided to do something a little different this time round and simply talk about some of my goals I have for Dainty Ditsy in the future...

1. HAVE A BLOG REDESIGN - This is something I really want to get round to doing very, very soon. It's been on my mind for a while now and or some reason nor another, I haven't yet actually done it. Don't get me wrong - I love my blog layout and overall aesthetic right now - but I want to keep on improving (as you'll see as you read through this post) and I really want to give my site a general refresh so definitely expect it to happen fairly soon - fingers crossed.
2. GROW, GROW, GROW - Kinda following on from the pervious point, one of my main, overarching goals for Dainty Ditsy in the future is to grow. I don't necessarily mean this in the sense of 'OMG I must have so many followers here, there and everywhere' but more in the way that I want to improve my blog and my blogging, push and promote more and all that kinda stuff and see what happens as a result. I want to grow by doing all of those things and maybe, just maybe, an increase in followers may come because of that.
3. IMPROVE AND EXPAND MY CONTENT - Another blog goal that falls under the whole 'improvement' umbrella - I know - but I feel like that's always a good goal to have, right? Content is one of, if not the main aspect and feature of blogging in general and so it only seems right that I want to continue to try and get better at it. I want my content to be as in-depth, detailed and high quality as possible. I really want it to be in some way informative - whatever the topic may be - and I also want to keep expanding my content aswell. While my blog will always, always be mainly beauty-based with all things lippies and liquid liners at the forefront, I want my blog to be somewhere that I can talk about anything and everything too.
4. GET BETTER AT MY BLOG PHOTOGRAPHY - The final kinda improvement-based point for this post is my blog photography. I really feel like over the two and a half years (!) of doing my blog so far my photos on my blog have certainly got much, much better - but as always, I want to continue to improve. I want to get better at taking photos, editing them and just generally coming up with new and different ways of capturing whatever the post may be about in photo form.
5. REACH 1,000 POSTS! - I mean, now we've reached the halfway point - why not go the whole hog, eh? I have no plans to stop my blog anytime soon, so surely before long we'll be in this exact same spot, talking about my 1,000th post. Crazy stuff...
