Are you Obsessed with Social Media… Check out SocialDesire.com

Earlier this month I wrote a post about my obsession with Social Media…. "Social Media - The New Bad Boy". I had so much fun writing it and it was a very successful post for me. I love Social Media and Web 2.0…. truthfully, I am totally addicted to it. If I’m not actively participating in Sphinn, StumbleUpon, Facebook,or any of my other Social Media addictions then I want to be writing about it.

I have decided to creat a Blog that will be exclusively about Social Media and Web 2.0. The Blog is named Social Desire….. named for the strong desire I have for everything relating to Social Media.

Please come join me there. If you are as obsessed with Social Media as I am, you will not regret it. And, please don’t forgot to subscribe to SocialDesire’s feed.

Party in New York City and Help Cure Cancer

Marty Weintraub from Aimclear Blog wrote a very personal post the other day about his battle with Lymphoma, a form of Cancer. Thank Goodness Marty is in remission, but in his post he shares with us an email that he wrote to his friends and family the day he found out he had Cancer.

I was especially touched by Marty’s post as I lost someone very close to me to Cancer about 14 months ago. This person was like a second mother to me and not a day goes past that I don’t think of her. I watched her battle cancer the entire 8 years that I knew her, but unfortunately, she lost her battle with Cancer.

Marty, The Super-Blogger, is using his Blogging Powers for Good and Not Evil!! He is passing the word about Internet Marketers of New York Charity Party sponsored by Best of The Web. Many of you SEOers will be in New York City for the SMX Social Media Expo and you have been invited to attend this Charity Bash on October, 15th. Simply, donate $40 at the door to help the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society fight cancer and enjoy three hours of open bar partying with fellow social internet marketers.

Blog Improvement “To-Do” List Meme

I was tagged by Rob Watts of Yack Yack SEO for a Blog Improvement Meme. I was actually tagged more than a week ago and put off blogging about it. Not that I don’t want to participate… I do. I love that Rob tagged me…. Memes can be a lot of fun. But, Blog improvement can be a lot of work…. so much so that many Bloggers, me included, put it off. When you put something in writing, like a blog improvement, you have acknowledged a need for change and made it aware to others…. which means that people will remind you until the improvement is done.

Blog Improvement “To-Do” List

Tweaking my Layout

• I need to figure out how I would like my Blog to look. I’m not thrilled with the color. Other than my Work at Home header I haven’t done a thing to the colors on this Blog. I need to figure out what colors work well together. I love bright colors, but I also like the look of a clean white site. So, I need to come up with how I ultimately want my Blog to look.
  
• As far as the sidebar goes I think I want just the bare minimum there. I actually don’t mind what is there now and I might keep it like that…. other than the color. I hate baby blue. The baby blue has got to go!! I do plan on adding a list of my favorite Blogs to the sidebar. I will work on that this week.

Advertisements

I haven’t thought about this yet. I would like to have some advertisements on the sidebar, but I haven’t even looked into what advertisements I want there. I am more concerned about finishing tweaking the site and getting posts up at this point. Eventually, I will start putting up a few small advertisements.

Marketing my Blog

Even though All Work At Home Ideas has been around for years this Blog is brand new and I need to market this Blog the same way I would a new site.

• Join Networks in the Work at Home Niche.
  
• Participate in Comments – I don’t do this enough, but I need to start. I love networking with other Bloggers, but for some reason I fall short when it comes to commenting on other Blogs. I will make a point to start doing this.
  
• Submit to Blog Directories – I believe most Blog Directories you need to have around 5 or more posts in order to submit, so I should be able to start submitting to the Blog Directories later this week.

There is probably so much more that I need to do, but this is a start and it will keep me busy for a while.

Thank you Rob for tagging me to this Blog Improvement Meme. Putting these improvements in writing is a reminder of what I need to do… and sometimes even I need a good kick in the butt to get motivated.

Since this is a Meme I need to tag a few Bloggers. So, I will be tagging Matt Keegan, Jeff Quipp, TappingCreativity, Mark Laymon , Brian Wallace
