Here's how you make a successful blog these days

Pick a successful theme. You could post pictures of funny cats. You could post pictures of people at Wal-Mart. You could post pictures of hipsters. Maybe you want to make fun of bad photoshops or of poor choice in book covers art. This is the one thing you're allowed to write about.

I will use this blog to record my findings, and to provide commentary on teenage life/the adolescent experience."

Here's a chart she made:
