A Timely Reminder

April 22, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

When was the last time that you . . .

  • found a new blog in your niche to read? New blogs offer new communities of readers with fresh ideas and new points of view. Join their discussion by leaving meaningful comments and trackbacks. New friends there might read your comments and want to find out what you’re writing.
  • tweaked your blog description and checked your directory listings? Blogging is flexible and adaptive. How much has your blog changed since you last read your blog description? Have you visited the directories that you listed your blog in? Listings have a way of disappearing over time. Even when they don’t, they might need revising.
  • organized your archives as your readers would want them? Great archives are super blog promotion. For more on how to think like your readers see Watch What You’re Doing.

What other reminders might we need now that spring is here?

    found a new blog in your niche to read? — tried but haven’t found one – is that a good sign!?

    tweaked your blog description and checked your directory listings? -always do that (a typical newbie;-)

    organized your archives as your readers would want them? — wants to. but its difficult to put categories in Blogger.com

    Hi Jack,
    Yeah it could be a good sign and you should think of ways to make it worth all that you can to be the only one in that niche.

    I used blogrolling to make categories, but if you search you can find there are ways to get around bloggers inadequacies, particularly if you use firefox. I’ll if I can’t do a post on some blogger stuff soon

    “What other reminders might we need now that spring is here?”

    When was the last time that you . . . took a moment to be grateful? To smell a flower? To help someone without expecting something in return?

    🙂

    Mark,
    Those are wonderful things to be reminded of. I like those a lot.

    How about sharing your crayons with a very good friend and letting his color your favorite page in your coloring book? 🙂

    Liz, I came upon your site via Phil G. (Make-it-Great). I have been on a personal mission to break away in excess of six degrees here in the blog world. Link out six times from six different sites and try and see if there is no one that I recognize on a blog roll. Haven’t done it yet. But there is a lot different on Successful-Blog and I LIKE that!
