This week’s assignment from the League: State of the Site

October 8, 2012 by 35 Comments

how you doin?

This week’s topic is going to have you toot your own horn a bit, but I would also like to see you promote the League in some capacity. I’d really like to get some new bloggers onboard, so when you write your weekly posts, try to include a link to the League info page here on Cool & Collected or make a page with the info on your own site, so it’s easy for others to find out how to join. Now, for this week’s topic…

—

Write a “State of the Site” for your web site. How’s it going? What exciting things have happened this past year? Where do you want your site to be in a year’s time?

We have a pretty good thing going here–your fellow League members are probably the biggest fans and cheerleaders of your site, so take a moment to return the favor and read what they have written, comment on their posts, and link back to their sites.

Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

 

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for joining The League.)

    I have the upper hand this week as I just posted about my site’s 1st birthday last week. I’ve built off the brief thank you to add a paragraph about how much fun it’s been to be a League member and interact with everyone…and of course give a big-up to our humble host Brian!!

    I’m bummed that I’m missing out on the League posts while my blog is in Halloween Countdown mode. But luckily, I do a monthly State of the Horde Address on the first of each month, so is fits in nicely even though I’m technically not participating in the League posts until Halloween is over. But I’m still having a blast reading all the League assignments from everyone!

    Hey guys. I’ve been following this site for a little while now. Finally decided to write my first blog for the LoEB. Probably not as creative as some of the others around here, but it will get better. I promise.

    Not being that good at tooting my own horn, this is more a statement of work. However, I´ll try to do really good when it comes to toys :)
