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.

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
