WE'RE BUILDING BETTER BLOGS

We are a community of bloggers committed to working together to improve the quality of our blogs and the blogging experience.

Membership is open and we invite you to join. We'll be discussing blogging best practices and providing weekly challenges to help us continue to grow as bloggers.

Our members have a range of experiences and we particularly welcome those who are new to blogging or thinking about starting a blog.

We live by the mottoes, "There are no dumb questions" and "We can all learn from each other."

GETTING STARTED

If you're new to Ning, BBB community member Sue Waters has created an intro page that will answer some questions.

To learn more about getting started with the Building a Better Blog community, check out this post.

THE WEEKLY CHALLENGE


The Weekly Challenge is taking a holiday and will return in 2008.

Leave Michele a message if you're interested in leading a challenge. Remember--anyone can do it. Honestly, it doesn't take a lot of skill, it won't hurt and you might even have fun!

NEW AT BUILDING A BETTER BLOG

WHERE ARE YOU AT IN YOUR BLOG'S DEVELOPMENT?
Skelliewag had an interesting article on the different strategies to take in building your blog depending on whether you're at the Chrysalis (less than 500 readers) or the Butterfly stage. I started up a forum to get your thoughts on where you're at and what you think of her ideas.

BLOG REVIEWS?
A couple of BBB members are looking for people to review their blogs and provide them with feedback. Christine Martell has been kind enough to do some screencasts for people, but I know that everyone would like more advice/feedback if you can stop by and take a look. Also, to make it easier for people who want reviews to connect with those who are willing to do blog audits, I've set up a forum specifically for that purpose. Hopefully that will help us make more "love connections."

ANYONE UP FOR A POSTING CHALLENGE?
I'm planning for another blogging challenge--this time I'm structuring research on a project that's based on using different blog posting formats. I'd love to have people join me. You can learn more in the forum, where you can also let me know if you want to participate.

HELP FOR THE 31 DAY CHALLENGE BLOGGERS
The BBB Bloggers who are currently participating in the 31 Day Challenge have set up a forum to discuss questions, problems and challenges to the process. Feel free to stop by and share your wisdom and/or related angst.

Social Bookmarking Site for Members

I probably spend too much time thinking of ways to promote writing rather than actually writing. My latest inspiration is a social bookmarking site I created dedicated to those of us who write online. The site is called WritersMarks and is a sort of Reddit clone without the down voting - a feature I despise in Reddit.

When you submit a bookmark to WritersMarks you will need to choose an appropriate c… Continue

"Faith VS Money"

Money, money, money. Everyone needs money. Without money you can’t move or step out from poverty that you’re suffering right now…
