Copyblogger Website
SEO stands for search engine optimization. And is the art of getting Google to see your site among the millions, and to love it. There is a lot of information to sift through to find the good stuff on SEO. For example, you want to use "keywords" to help the search engines know what your pages are about. But you can't use too many keywords or your site will loose credibility. You want links coming into your site, but not too many. How much is too much? And how do you stay on top of these things? This website is a great start: copyblogger's SEO Article Series. We heart your site, Mr. … [Read more...]
Day 19: Express an Opinion
Can you tell this is my favorite thing to do? I can't resist! :) Yesterday's (today's) post about day 15 - 17 is pretty much my opinion on blogging for other people, as opposed for yourself. I imagine that expressing your opinion would be difficult for more reserved people? Or perhaps for people concerned with accuracy?? … [Read more...]
Day 15 – 17: blog buddies, buddy watching, buddy instruction
Sorry People - I thought I'd posted this a couple days ago!! Okay, so I`m sensing a theme among ProBlogger`s posts of late: social networking. Blogging is social; it is communication. Here`s my take on this. To some extent, I like to think that I`m writing into the void. My personal blog is my place to record the memorable, the funny, and photos, the petty, etc. It just exists.

I keep some friends, and family up to date - because I SUCK at keeping in touch with my … [Read more...]
Day 13: Shopping and People Watching!!
Oh, these are MY kind of assignments! :) So, Day 14 of 31 DBBB at Problogger: Go to the mall and observe marketing trends, the ways the display, creativity, color are used. Perhaps do some people watching too. Okay, so I tried this. I spent an hour at the mall, but my ADD wouldn't let me observe what was going on... there are way too many sparkly and shiny things to drag me in. Apparently I'm a sucker for marketing and sales techniques. :) I sat down at the food court, and could only think of how I was going to avoid the Dairy Queen ice cream shop. Uggg. How did it work for … [Read more...]
Day 12 31DBBB: Editorial Calendar {printable}
After I read ProBlogger's Day 12 of 31 Days to Build a Better Blog, I immediately thought of creating an online editorial calendar - type tool that I could use. I like to be obsessive like that. If you are a pen & paper person like me, you can print this editorial Calendar from your browser and complete it, or you can copy to your own google docs or word processor to complete digitally. The gist of today's assignment is to create a schedule for the coming weeks, of which posts you'll publish, and on what days. While you're organizing your posts from yesterday's Mind Mapping … [Read more...]
