Inspiring blog development

To inspire blog development we can use trends, using colour schemes and styles to change our blogs with the times/seasons. This could not just be in the appearance of the blog but also in the content. For another module I am looking into Autumn/Winter 2016, so if I was to change and develop my blog to fit with this trend I would change the appearance to fit with this colour scheme:

And include pattern. But as for content the trend I am looking at here is Offbeat, I think therefore the content of my blog I would research and talk about the features of the trend such as: Psychedelic patterns, optical illusion, creating textures, and the history fashions that would fit into this trend such as previous trends and collections, my own ideas that I have from this trend, and various other key features and techniques that could be used.

So that's just one example of how a blog can develop with trends. This way it would make your blog a lot more focused. But I also think that if you focus in on a particular subject to write about on your blog then that can be just as focused, but your readership may remain the same and it wouldn't develop in a way that you build your readership through a development of your blog, your blog would remain virtually at the same level, therefore constantly changing your blog with the trends would be a lot of work but would develop a lot better.
