Day 20 #31DBBB Leave Comments on Other Blogs

Kelly H Russo2010-08-10T06:58:23-04:00August 10, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

Do you normally spend at least 15 minutes a day commenting on other blogs? Why or why not? I do leave comments sometimes but not as much as I probably should. What are some reasons you DON'T comment on an entry you otherwise would have? (For example, a registration process deters me from commenting.) Sometimes blogs want to much info and I don't want to fill it all out. Sometimes I do not have time and sometimes I will enter everything and then that Captcha thing messes it all up and then I give up.

Day 19 #31DBBB Write an Opinion Post

Kelly H Russo2010-08-06T09:07:54-04:00August 6, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

Writing an opinion post. 1. Have you written opinion posts in the past? If so, do you notice a difference in the way your writers respond to these posts? No I have not. 2. Do you tend to like reading opinion posts, or do they make you uncomfortable? I don't mind reading others opinions and I don't feel uncomfortable at all.

Day 18 #31DBBB Create a Sneeze Page

Kelly H Russo2010-08-05T07:31:54-04:00August 5, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

So this is what a sneeze page is: A sneeze page is a concept ProBlogger came up with as a strategy to direct readers deeper into a blog by highlighting previously written posts. You can create a sneeze page with posts revolving around a single theme or a period of time. By promoting it prominently on your homepage, you can develop another opportunity for people to link within your site. I have never done this before and had never even heard of it but I do think that it could be helpful. I think that once I have more posts [...]

Day 17 #31DBBB Watch A First Time Reader Use Your Blog

Kelly H Russo2010-08-05T07:20:35-04:00August 5, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

Question 1: When you asked someone to navigate through your blog for the first time what did they seem drawn to? Well I had someone go thru it and liked the colors and way it looked and the pics that had been posted. Question 2: What useful observations and/or feedback did they offer? Needs a sidebar, needs more posts about Disney and news, and they also thought that the top or header should be different. These are all things I already thought as well and have been working on it my free time.

Day 16 #31DBBB Solve a Problem

Kelly H Russo2010-08-03T10:06:53-04:00August 3, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

Day 16 is all about Problem Solving. I don't really write about ways to solve problems, I write about ways to save money and give tips but I think that is alittle different. I will see people ask questions on Facebook and Twitter and then answer them and then take that and turn into a post here. This is all still pretty new to me so I think that this book will be even more helpful in the future because I can go back and refer to it. There are some great bloggers over on the SITSgirls forums so join [...]

Kelly H Russo2023-10-23T16:22:43-04:00August 3, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

Day 15 Today we are supposed to find a blog buddy in our niche. For me that is Amy at Growing Up Disney. We have been chatting and helping each other out with re-tweets and Facebook and "likes". Amy writes a great blog with her family and she posts wonderful pictures about Disney and her vacations there. I really like reading her blog! 1) Have you ever collaborated or worked with another blogger to mutually grow or improve your blog? Not really I just started working with Amy and have tried to spend some time reading Disney Dean Disney blog [...]

Day 14 #31DBBB Update a Key Page on Your Blog

Kelly H Russo2010-08-01T14:48:20-04:00August 1, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

This would be a cool thing to work on if I had more than just the one page. I don't have tabs that lead to other pages and all that fun stuff. During the course of this challenge I have have seen some really great blog set ups and have some ideas on how I would like mine to look. When I go to a blog page now I look at the head and the sidebar right away and see what they have going on. It is crisp and easy to navigate or is it just buttons and ads everywhere? [...]

Day 13 #31DBBB Take a Trip to the Mall

Kelly H Russo2010-08-01T09:24:48-04:00August 1, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

I have to admit I do not go to the Mall that much. I am just not a shopping kinda gal. I go in and get what I need and leave as quickly as I can. I get the point of the exercise though since I was in retail management for over 10 years. The concept is designed to make you look at how brick and mortar businesses handle there marketing. It can't hurt to take a break from the computer recharge your batteries and get some fresh perspective. So like I said I do not go to the mall [...]

Day 12 #31DBBB – Develop An Editorial Calendar For Your Blog

Kelly H Russo2010-07-30T21:46:32-04:00July 30, 2010|Mom Businesses|0 Comments

So Lynda who I told you about in my last post has posted a link to an editorial calendar that seems like it would be great for helping you with your posting and keeping me organized. Now this seems like it would help someone like me who is trying (I really am LOL) this whole blogging thing. Anyways... For me I am not sure this plug in will even work. My whole website was built in Wordpress and yes I have a blog on here but its not really set up like a blog. I have NO idea how to [...]

Good Morning! So todays challenge is to come up with 10 post ideas and use the method of Mind Mapping. I had never tried this before and I worked on it alittle bit this morning and it did help. The more blogs that I read from the ladies on SITSgirls the more ideas I come up with and its been fun reading and discovering them all. I have come up with some ideas that I had not thought of at all but with my blog I want to keep it about travel, Disney, tips, pics, and links. I want to [...]
