Traffic will be discussed in the next module (Module 4) So I can’t wait for that one. So far we are averaging about one module a week. With a brainstorming session (6-7 hours long) Alex was on for the whole time. Whew! And an interactive session. I will write a little about those in another post.
The old adage: “Quitters never win and Winners never quit!” is the quote of the day. And what a quote it is, no one who ever succeeded in any endeavor did so with out some failure in their quest. My wifes grandfather worked for Thomas Edison when he was perfecting the filament for the light bulb. It took him over 1000 tries over two years to get it right. In fact there are some light bulbs (unlike mine that burn out, it seems in about a month) in service for over a hundred years now: #1 in Livermore, CA (turned on 1901-1905) ,#2 in Forth Worth, TX (turned on 1908) and #3 in Mangum, OK (turned on 1926-1929). Amazing!
What is a blog? An online weblog in which we write in as if in a journal. This makes us accountable and gives us feedback from the comments.
Your very first post on a blog gives you instant momentum. And blogging maintains your focus and keeps you honest as your postings are viewed by the world so to speak.
What needs to be on your blog? First you want your blog to be personalized and not be one of the basic themes. There are a lot of themes out there, find one that appeals to you and use that one. As we learned, not to have a calender on the page because it takes up space unnecessarily. We want to have content that provides value to our readers.
Oh Oh!The dinner bell has been rung . I will continue with this third module when I am done.
Later…mike
