Tues To Do

this week (oct 31) I'm finishing up my ebook and only focusing on that....




To Do/Think About/Decide:

1. check google webmaster to see what is being searched
2. Take a print screen of my blog and define the areas ie. #content # secondary
3. Add FB icon so someone can like your page in the header widget area
4. Write on ebook 1 hour
5. from 365cp site - choose to post every single day using your keywords in your post...tip a day? quote of the day??
6. http://www.momcomm.com/   wow!
7. link up at several carnivals
8. http://www.theminimalists.com/blog/  
1. Vision. The reason our site design looks good is because we had a vision of how we wanted it to look, and then we worked very hard to make that vision a reality (N.B. neither one of us had any design experience prior to starting this site). It’s hard to create a great looking site if you don’t know what you want it to look like.
2. We Instead Of You. The best bit of non-fiction writing advice we ever received was from Joshua Becker when we wrote a guest essay for his site. He asked to use “statements of ‘we/our’ rather than ‘you/your’ especially when talking about negative behaviors or tendencies.” It reads far less accusatory. Think of it this way: we’re writing peer-to-peer, we are not gods.
3. Research. Spend your time researching what you’re writing about. The reason we are able to use so many helpful, relevant links in our essays is because we put in the time to research our topics. That doesn’t mean that we read all of these blogs regularly, but we put in the time reading them when we’re doing our research.
