Kim at Sophisticated Dorkiness is hosting a blog improvement project for 2009; I’m lumping this in with my list of reading challenges for the year. This is what Kim has to say about the project:
The 2009 Blog Improvement Project is a year-long challenge that will consist of twice-monthly activities to improve your blog. Every first and third Monday of the month I’ll post an activity here at Sophisticated Dorkiness that will related in some way to making your blog better. Each participant should spend the next two weeks focusing on that aspect of their blog. Possible topics include goals setting, writing better content, building community with readers, getting more readers, and blog layout and design.
If you choose to participate in this project, there is no obligation to participate in every challenge, and you can customize each challenge so it makes sense for your particular blog and goals. Think of the design as similar to Weekly Geeks — participate when it makes sense for you. This is a group effort, because getting better is always easier when you have a support system, but the ultimate commitment remains with you — how do you want your blog to be better by the time we get to December 31, 2009?
Here’s where I’ll list the improvements I make in 2009, with the support of Kim and others in the group:
- wow
- amazing
- great results
- etc.

I love this idea…I’m in…thanks for sharing! I was just thinking today about what I could do to take my blog to the next level next year.
I’m in for this one too!
jill – I have a list of things I’d like to do to/with my blog, but this group effort will really push me to get it done!
Shana – when I’m held accountable for something it really motivates me. Going public by saying “I’ll do this” will make me stick to it!
I’ve signed up for this one too.
Fascinating to find something like this. I’m a little late joining in, but as a newly published author, I’ve only been blogging for a few weeks. Looking forward to browsing here to find ideas for improving my blog. Thank you!
