Even after nearly a year, I'm still figuring out how to make this blog stuff work for me.<br /><br />I'm starting up a 'Critiquing Crusaders' program, where participants in the Second Crusade can find other writers to exchange critiques with or form critiquing circles.

I suppose i could tweet when I read cool llama stories *shifty*. But I think the BIGGEST blog thing is being ourselves. I think it is hard to MAINTAIN if we aren't, and I think if a reader doesn't feel like they are getting to know us, they won't feel the kinship thing that allows us to eventually start the crank (do that work for us)<br /><br />I've always said we either need to be helpful or entertaining, but when I was classifying you, you fall in between--it isn't like the 'write better blogs' it's more like sharing cool entertaining stuff but that we could USE if our topic hit...Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-207479524287004185.post-56305052817054250402011-04-13T16:52:30.765-04:002011-04-13T16:52:30.765-04:00Great links.

(Use keywords in the title. I noticed Google likes that.) Then set things up to feed from your blog to Facebook to Twitter. On the other days, comment on other blogs. The more things with your name on it, the more Google has to pull. I'm not sure how Twitter helps Google. Anyone know that answer to that? <br /><br />@ Rogue Mutt - I've heard that using a real or pen name provides better results and that your blog url should be yourname dot com.

I'm all for keeping up with social media, but some of it is beyond my very limited technical skills and I find it's very difficult to find time for everything.
