Taking the “31 Days to Build a Better Blog” Challenge

Over the next 31 days I’ll be running Maastricht Minutiae through it’s paces with the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog challenge (31DBBB) along with the other lady bloggers in the SITS community.  31DBBB is a eBook by Darren Rowse, the owner of the wildly successful Problogger and all the various products that go with it.  The book itself takes you through a series of tasks that force you to think critically about why you blog, how you write, and what you do to build a community.

I’ll probably be posting frequently about the challenge here in addition to my usual blogging, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions feel free to make them. Now with no further ado, my answer to the day one task.

Day One Challenge: Write an Elevator Pitch

“A spotlight on the adventure and realities of expat life in Maastricht.”

Are you a Lady Blogger?

If you’re a lady blogger, feel free to join me and 400 other bloggers at the SITS community as we work through these challenges. You can learn more about the 31DBBB book here.

   It sounds like a really interesting book. I think I’m going to have to check it out.

     Agreed, although I cringe at the thought of another Elevator Pitch. My life has been full of them recently – the blog was my only escape.

       Uh-oh. Call it a “tagline” then.
