Yes, I am familiar with ProBlogger - what a great resource Darren Rowse is!

I'd love to hear from anyone who is participating in his 30 day blog challenge - sound off with a link to your site so we can keep up with what you're doing

I am actually participating in the challenge. I have learned a lot so far and Darren even set up a forum for those participating in the event to chat and give each other feedback. Based upon what the challenge for the day.

In case you want to check out my site it is http://targetstars.blogspot.com. I am definitely going to be upgrading to Wordpress whenever I get the time!

Hi LaTosha. Your blog looks great. And your series on conferences is very interesting and helpful. Good advice there! You are a good advertisement for the ProBlogger challenge!

I'm doing the Problogger challenge (as best I can) too. It's a really good motivator every day, and a huge amount of info. Not to mention a great intro to other bloggers I may not have found on my own.

Hello all!

Sounds like a very interesting challenge. By now, the challenge is over...how did it go LaTosha and Mary? I would like to hear what you learned from this challenge? Was it harder than you thought or a piece of cake? Or some where in between? LOL I'm in the process of researching and starting my own blog. I am just curious about your experience with starting your blog. Was this your first?

BTW, LaTosha, I think you did a good job too!

Thanks.

The Problogger Blog Challenge was good! Very well structured, earnest, new challenges every day. Darren is totally tuned in. Forum was added, and now he has a workbook.

I didn't learn much I don't already know, although the process did convince me to create a blog sneeze page; and I did write a 'list post,' though it made me feel a bit sleazy. Seeing others' blogs and stories in the forum was helpful. But I've been at it for over a year. The course is great for someone just starting out, or in it for only a few months.

I should add that while I knew most of Darren's lessons already, that doesn't mean I'm good at them. No course in the world can tell me exactly how to blog, because it's a journey that's all mine, and we each have to fight our own devils. My process continues ...

Thanks for the honest review, I think the best information about the usefulness of different seminars and programs really comes from those who have taken it!
