The Blog Improvement Zone Meme.
Blogrospection
What do you really feel the need to improve about your blog? There has to be something. Something you know you could make or do better and you really want to and intend to, but for whatever reason, you just haven’t.
Why do I ask?
I don’t know how well this will work, but I’m going to go for it here. I’ve never participated in a blog meme before. Previously I just didn’t think it fit with the way I was blogging, but with the new format I really want to start. Since I haven’t been tagged for any since I decided I wanted to start participating I figure I’ll try to start my own. now I don’t have a lot of traffic built up right now, and a fair amount of what I do have is spiraling into 404 pages while I frantically set up redirects for the old blog, so I’m not sure I’ll get any traction with this, but I want to try.
The Meme
So what is something you want to improve about your blog or your blogging? What is it that you just know you could be doing better than you are? And who are five bloggers who are doing this thing well?
That’s short sweet and to the point, eh?
What to do
Write a post on your blog answering this question. Give us the good dirt on what you want to improve. Then link to three to five bloggers who you feel are doing this thing well already. Be sure to visit them and let them know you tagged them, and be sure to send a trackback to this post. If you were tagged by someone else who participated in this meme, you could send the trackback to them instead, or even send trackbacks to both.
My Answer
I really need to increase my posting frequency. I need to post more often, and honestly more regularly. I have lots of half finished posts, but I always have all of these other things to do, and posting gets delayed a bit until the next thing I know I haven’t posted again. Now, don’t get me wrong here. There are scads of things I could be doing better than I am. This is just the one at the top of the list of the things that bother me the most.
Five bloggers who post frequently, without overdoing it are
- Andy Beard - Niche marketing who is among my favorite reads.
- The Buzz Networker posting some great info on using social networks.
- Big Bucks Blogger Where Lucia dispenses wisdom and plugins and carries a large knitting needle.
- Vlad The Affiliate who chronicles his experiments and thoughts on affiliate marketing.
- BlogPond where Meg covers the Ausishpere and the rest from a Down Under perspective.
Be sure to visit these blogs and see what they have to offer. All five are in my reader, and I read them all regularly.

I am in Dane, although it may take me some time to write something worth of reading .

Cool beans, Vlad. My own answer isn’t earth shattering, but it’s my honest assessment of the improvement with the most bang for the buck. I’m just way to erratic.

Every week we steal a meme from someone at random. It is for a featuring we call “Stealing”. We do credit you, because we are honest thieves. Cheers!
September 24th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
hey, Bud, how’ve you been. Long time no see man. I’m not really sure you can steal a meme, though.

I actually came up with an improvement: I put my feed icon somewhere visible! (Yes… obvious)
September 26th, 2007 at 11:15 am
Hey Lucia,
That is noticable. And I particularly like the end of post treatment of the subscription icon. I believe I’ll steal that.
