31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge
Today I begin the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog challenge.
I’ll be going through the challenge with The SITS Girls. We will be skipping weekends so the challenge will run from 02/07/2011-03/19/2011
I’ll be updating this post with the links to all of my 31DBBB posts.
Just in case I’m behind in updating this post you can also find all of my 31DBBB posts here and I have a link in my left sidebar under the SITS 31DBBB button (which is under the “Recent Comments”).

Thanks, Shelley! You’re doing a great job hosting and I’m sure that we all appreciate it! I can tell that you like to help people…besides being in charge of such a big challenge is very time consuming. I think your pitch was great and I think it was perfect for an About Me page or something, I just thought it wouldn’t flow as well on, say, a business card or something similar. You’re world’s ahead of me in the blogging arena so I’ll be watching you and learning the whole way 🙂
Thanks again!

Hey Jenn! Thanks again for stopping my my blog. I made a few revisions to my elevator pitch per your suggestion. Sometimes it just takes a little nudge to me going in the right direction. =)
Your pitch seems flawless. Great job.
