Fuzzy Thoughts

One of the RSS feeds that I subscribe to is ProBlogger. Why might you ask, since I don’t blog professionally, or for money (which is the site’s main focus)? It because the same things that will help the pros make more money should also help me increase traffic here, which right now is a main goal of mine.

Some of the items that are posted there don’t really apply to me, while others I have some interest in, while some others do interest me a lot, but I never seem to implement them. So I was reading yesterday’s articles, and one of them was about keeping the momentum going. Seeing how this is my first post in about 10 days, this was something I was very interested in.

The article talks about a points system that makes you do things for points (obviously). Some things, such as making a post, are worth more points than easier things, such as commenting on someone’s blog. This system was originally left as a comment to another post, and the poster’s goal was 50 points a day. Obviously I wouldn’t want to start with a 50 point target right away, or use the point system that was outlined in the article due to me being in the middle of a big project (but then again, I could incorporate the project into the system).

So right now, the points system is something that I am going to implement to get me posting more than once every 10 days…its just a question what items are going to be on the list, and how many points they are worth. But that will have to wait until later tomorrow, because I have a physics test to take in just over 8 hours
