I like a wrap up but it’s up to you (my guess would be that it takes a ton of time to get everything together). I’m going to sit down tomorrow and work on my goals. I saw the post with suggestions and I think it’s great!

Thanks for doing this! Surely, at some point, it’s more our responsibility to link to you than yours to link to all of us.

I don’t really have anything to add but to let you know that I’m looking forward to this project.

I like wrap-up posts and I think leaving links in the comments works just fine.

Somehow I missed this – I’m glad I saw it on J. Kaye’s blog. I do like wrap-up posts. I also like Steve’s (J. Kaye’s hubby) questions about technorati and Stumble Upon.

Kristina: That’s a great reminder, I’m excited now so I just have to make sure to keep things simple enough so I’m still excited!

rebel: Yes, I have the same problem. The length of my posts sometimes gets out of control I definitely want to do a few about improving writing and stuff like that.

This is probably more of a general writing issue rather than a blogging one… but I think the greatest weakness on my blog is lack of editing. Some tips & guidelines on how to keep blogs succinct & readable would be nice.

That really is a lot of people!! I’m really looking forward to this as well. I do all my challenge coordinating in an Excel Spreadsheet. I know some hosts make a completely new challenge blog. You could do it on Blogger if that works a little better with Mr. Linky. I love the wrap up posts that Dewey used to do, but it’s up to you whether you want to do them or not. I’m excited….just remember, keep it fun, not a chore or you won’t like it anymore. As the host you have to like it!

I can’t wait to get started! Mr. Linky is only good if you buy the membership. I don’t know of anything else similar though.

As for wrap-up posts, they are okay but not necessary.

I don’t know what blogging topics you are already planning on of course but I’m already working on cleaning up my labels/categories.

Perhaps a post on taking advantage of additional pages and profiles. I’ve been thinking about doing one, but I keep putting it on the back burner (I’ve just come across a lot of hopeful authors who are leaving their profiles blank).

Perhaps something on Technorati (though I’m suspicious of the rankings since my WP blog has only a handful of readers and outranks my LiveJournal blog which has about 125).

Tags and what they can and can’t do for you.
