Link and Blog

Excited to report that our new blogging community Link and Blog Challenge was just indexed by Google today, making it a total of only 5 days to get indexed, since it went live. We’re very happy about that, and simply wanted to share that with you. We hope to see you over there soon to take on a Link & Blog Challenge! Have a great day!

You may be wondering, “Hey, Tammara – where art thou?” Lol – well maybe not exactly in those words, but you may be wondering why we have not yet launched the blogging community in it’s full platform as promised? As you may recall, originally we had anticipated to announce the opening for registration on our full platform by the first of the year, and that is obviously past and gone. So, what’s the current scoop?

The scoop is all good news. Although I’m not on track time-wise, the project is still in progress, but the learning curve with putting it together has been the mountain to move, and each step has taken me way too much time due to the degree of that curve! Waiting for answers in vendor forums for getting help was also taking an enormous amount of time, and especially in that we were near the holidays and there were less people in the forums to get assistance from.

After much distress, I finally realized I was going to need to hire someone to help get the project moving forward. Who better to enlist than one of our own members – right? Well, help is what I desperately was in the need of, and our member Daryl began conversing with me and realized I was quite frustrated with my project. He has now installed many of the components needed to get the community together, but I still have much configuration to do to get it done. Thank you Daryl for providing the much needed assistance!

So, when will we launch? If I may ask for your patience, hang in there, and it will be very soon! I would hope for the early part of February, but again I don’t want to attempt to make a promise that I may not be able to live up to! We also have more new members to announce, so stay tuned for more fun! Thanks for your patience with the development of our new blogging community!

Hi everyone! Are you getting ready for Christmas? There’s always much to do as we approach the holiday and the year end.

Things have been busy here behind the scenes in developing a better, more interactive community to enable you to make connections with our members on a regular basis. I’m very excited about the direction of where we are heading to accomplish that, and I have a little project for any of you that would like to participate.

Would you like to submit a review of Link and Blog?

Nothing lengthy will be necessary, just a short paragraph will do! If you would like to submit a review, please send it to admin in the personal messaging system, or you may send it to our email address you received when you registered your blogs in our directory.

The reviews selected will be utilized when we launch the grand opening of our community! As I mentioned, it only needs to be a short paragraph, or even just a sentence, but to serve as an example our member Chris of ZeroCommute submitted a review, which can be read here. Part of Chris’ review will be used when we launch our improved community, and we would like to add more reviews to his.

I’m hoping to have our new community platform launched the first of the year, or shortly thereafter, if my efforts in that direction are not met with too many technical challenges -lol! Each review received will include your member user ID, so it could also attract other members wishing to work with you on a Link & Blog Challenge!

Perhaps you would like to do a review, but you’re not sure what to talk about?

Here’s one idea: A review could simply be your comments in regards to what your opinion is of a Link & Blog Challenge, and how you feel it may benefit you, and your blogs.

Or, perhaps you would like to comment in regards to what your perspective of a Link & Blog Challenge was both before you completed one and after. That’s just several ideas to give you an idea of what a review topic could be, but we really want you to share your own personal view.

Your reviews would be appreciated, and we would hope to receive as many as possible before the years end to share when we launch our improved community platform.

Have a great week and don’t forget to check your personal messaging system!

Ever had one of those weeks where you are technologically challenged? Welcome to the world of blogging! LOL! Technological challenges is probably the best description of where my time went this week, so once again I got a bit behind! Be sure to check back this weekend to learn about our newest members, and to find out what the newest completed Link & Blog Challenges are!
