This is quite an interesting idea. It seems like a good way to keep on task and increase your blog’s presence on the internet. I like how it isn’t just a giant wall of a list, but it breaks it down into simpler tasks that can individually be completed in a short amount of time.

I’ve had my site, which is part blog/part music news, for about 6 months now. It is definitely hard to keep up with, each and every day. I do have a few staff members now that help out with things.

But there are days that I only work on the site because of the readers. I don’t want them to think I’m slacking.

Organization is my hardest thing, especially getting over 40 emails a day from music industry people, bands and fans.

I like the scoring system but I wish there was a computer program to do it for me…haha.

I like your site, btw!

Do you have the score sheet to download anywhere?

Great Post. I have been blogging for about 4 or 5 months now and as I sit looking at my drafts wondering what people want to read, I hope that the next post may be the “one”. I, like many others, often struggle to find something to write about. I have had several posts from guest bloggers and that tends to take the pressure off; a couple days a month anyway. The goal setting that you talk about has been key! I post every day and sometimes on Saturdays with the “Sometimes on Saturday Post”. I don’t really get that wrapped up in the stats or in the subscribers until I check them on Fridays. Every month the numbers just keep going up and that is the one thing that keeps me going.

Commenting on other blogs is definitely a good way to spend your time, especially blogs you’ve not commented on before or one’s that offer a top commentators list.

Thanks again for the compliment on the about the site.
