Our History

Hello. My name is nelmar and I’m a history blogger.

Yes – you heard right. A history blogger. We exist. There’s actually quite a few of us once you start looking.

But I think we all know by now a label like ‘history blogger’ doesn’t tell the whole story. Yes, I’m a proud and active member of the history blogging community, but I am equally involved with several blogging communities full of what I call mainstream bloggers. People who write about fashion and lifestyle, and who don’t have to worry about what category they fit into when blog award nominations open.

I’ve been pondering about writing this post for a while. These two sides of my blogging life are equally meaningful and valuable to me, but they are VERY different. However I learn so much from both of them, and I genuinely think there are many lessons mainstream bloggers can learn from us niche bloggers and vice versa.
