As ever, if you have any thoughts or comments please let me know…

I’d wanted to blog for a long time, but really struggled with just about every aspect of it. I never knew what to write or how to make it interesting for other people. I’d followed Nikki Pilkington on Twitter for a while and had heard good things about her skills from other people. When she advertised the 30 day blog, aimed to make me a better blogger, I jumped at the chance.What did I learn? More than  I could have ever imagined, but most importantly that blogging can be a lot of fun. From keeping the posts short or splitting longer posts over a couple of days to including images and commenting on other blogs the whole challenge was fantastic and a lot of fun.I was sent 30 separate emails each with a different challenge ranging from writing about a specific topic to writing a guest blog for someone else, but the best part is that each one allowed you to use the lessons learned from the previous days to improve the blog post. Not only that I met a bunch of like-minded people who all wanted to become better bloggers and took the step to upgrade my website to enable me to host a blog within it.The main question is ‘Does it work’ and it’s an emphatic YES. Traffic to my blog was non-existent, but within a few days of blogging regularly the traffic increased massively – from 400 hits in a year to 600 hits in a month!

If you are serious about becoming a better blogger and have around 30 minutes a day to devote to blogging and reading other blogs then this a challenge that you will not regret taking part in, and most importantly it’s a lot of fun
