Day 7 – Wednesday

Well, apparently yesterday's work paid off, at least in clicks, because when I looked at my Amazing Counters web counter, I'd gotten as many hits since yesterday's forum postings as I had since I started my blog. Amazing Counters provides a free counter in exchange for showing one product ad on your site. My product ad was for an Overstock.com coupon site – not a good match for a site on dog body language. So while I was in the Amazing Counters site, I poked around and discovered that I can change my advertiser to one that matches my site content, so I did.

Tuesday – Day 6

Day six consists of writing another posting based on a news article and then signing up for a bunch of forums on related topics and posting a teaser to try to get people to reply so you can then refer them to your blog. I couldn't really find any interesting news articles related to my topic. However, since my blog subject is dog body language and Pico was exhibiting a bunch of pain and stress signals from her surgery yesterday (she had a lump and moles removed), I decided to get out my video camera and get some examples and write about that. I'm actually really happy with the result – both the video I got and the way I integrated it into my blog post.
