I am, but not as an affiliate. I find the challenge great and it is making me think and rethink my blog/site. Of course you don't have to do it in 31 days, I started strong but now take a few days to do each of the tasks. Let me know if you want to do it, we can connect a little.

I may try the ProBlogger system you mentioned this summer. At first I thought maybe you were just plugging something, but I can see you're not. A lot of bloggers seem to be flailing right now -- I know I blog a bit less, but definitely am finding less time to "make the rounds" and visit other blogs. I've made some excellent contacts and even out and out friends through blogging, but we are now in touch through FB, Twitter and email so even checking their blogs sometimes seems redundant. However, I continue to think that bloggers are a special breed that I want to be part of. Facebook is pretty much for everybody these days. Twitter is a different world, but complementary to blogging, I think. Anyway, I'll also respond to the comments you left on La France Profonde. Bon dimanche! Thank you for your two comments today.

Business and contacts can really be developed this way. Blogging takes a while, I had a few regular readers but then I dropped the ball, but I am getting back into it.

It can be a bit disheartening at times this blogging game but I think in the long term it all helps build business and contacts. You may want to consider following my blog so that anyone visiting can find us both more easily. Anyway nice to hear from you and just keep blogging.

I think that is why my blogging habits waned, because I lost focus. Anyway, hope to see you again here. Are you participating in the #31DBBB?
