I'll be honest. I still don't understand Twitter. All the @'s and #'s. I guess I need to watch a YouTube tutorial made by some 13 year old with too much time on their hands.

Great read Nolan.

Wow, 31 days. We did it! The information I have received while being a part of 31DBBB in invaluable. I have found many great bloggers in my niche whom I would never have found had it not been for 31DBBB. Not only have I found many in my niche, but many different styles of blogging within my niche. I will continue to be watching these blogs because I believe that "iron sharpens iron". (Prov. 27:17)

I need to work on a blog calendar. I do this somewhat, but not in a calendar format. And not for a month in advance.

1. I like analytics. I use google analytics. I agree that it is a bit tough to make sense of at times, but I like the information. I like seeing all the countries and cities that have accessed the blogs. I also like the traffic information.
2. The only real use I have made of this is counting how many countries the blog has been read in. And to determine best use of video. Not everyone is using Cable internet and has the latest browser. This helped me to decide to keep video file size small so that more people can use it. I was suprised about how many dial-up users are still out there...
3. My goal is the same - to reach people.

I can get lost in the cyber world too. Not long ago, during the 31 DBBB, I lost half a day browsing layout templates. It is easy to do. I am going to have to discipline myself. The word itself makes me feel as if I'm being sent to the principal's office.
I know it may sound corny, but I may have to set a timer and walk away after the the timer dings.
I try to generate new traffic through Facebook, Twitter, and email. Facebook has been the most effective so far. I also ordered some cheap business cards. (around $10 for 500) It has our ministry name, elevator pitch, and website only. We leave them at coffee shops, book stores, restuarants, etc. We just leave them at different places we visit even when we travel.

This seems like a daunting task! ugh! But a task none the less...
I don't have to answer the questions. I have never done this, yet I am the first to get frustrated when I find a broken link.

Maybe we, as 31DBBB bloggers, could notify each other by email or some other source of contact other than a comment if we find a dead link in another's blog. Not just today....

1. I have gotten some great feedback from "been there, done that, got the T-shirt" bloggers. It has been invaluable to me!
2. Not sure that I have...
3. I have always tried to be positive, but now I see that is not always the best. The best advice I have been given is comments that point out faults that can be corrected, or advice on trying something new.

I need to build better relationships with other bloggers. When I was pastoring full-time, I didn't really see the need. I saw my target audience at least weekly. Through 31DBBB, I have learned that there is a whole community of bloggers and communities within that community. I need to find my place and build relationships within that community.

I am awful about starting discussions on my blog. I think the first time that I have truly done so is when we were asked to do an opinion blog.

I do my best to get around to others blogs and comment. I think that what keeps each of us on any given blog is subjective. Do we like the subject, writing style, etc.

This series has helped me tremendously. Thank you Paul and OurChurch.,com for the opportunity!

I have been guilty of not responding to some comments. Sometimes the comment is so precise and relevant that I do not want to respond in fear of devaluing what has already been said.
