Heather - we received an email on the 30th saying that it was being delayed until the 6th and to start doing 3 items.  I copied and pasted that section of the email which is below:

3 Things to Do Today to Prepare for #31DBBB 

While the start of the challenge has gone back just under a week - there are a few things that will be helpful for you to do today to prepare for the challenge.

1. Install a Metrics Program - To help us with a couple of the tasks in the challenge and to help you track the success of your blog please make sure you have some kind of statistics/metrics package installed on your blog.

I use and recommend Google Analytics (it's free and comprehensive) but there are plenty of others on the market.

2. Invite a Friend to Join You - this sounds like a selfish request (and there is an element of me wanting to see this grow for sure) but there are two reasons for it - accountability and the power of working together.

If you're anything like me, telling someone that you're doing this challenge and having them join you will both give you someone to keep you accountable to the task and will give you someone to debrief with and work with.   To refer a friend simply send them to this link which I've prepared for your friends.   PS: I just heard today that a community of 50 Italian bloggers are all joining up together for the very reasons I've written above. Ciao to you!

There is also talk of a group of real estate bloggers joining together - so if you are in a community of bloggers from a niche why not invite others to journey together in that way.

3. Do a SWOT Analysis of Your Blog - this is something that I do on my blogs once a year and it never fails to give me insight and direction.

Learn how to do a SWOT analysis here (I wrote it up for the 2007 version of our 31 Day Challenge).   A SWOT analysis actually something that you can spend a lot of time on but even putting aside 30 minutes to work through it can be beneficial. It'll also bring some clarity for you as we head towards the start of the challenge next week.

Heather/Chris - I actually sent Darren a tweet about the email saying that he might want to consider re-sending the email as I have spoken to many people that didn't get it (I think if you signed up on the later side of things you may have missed it).  I also sent him a link to the post I did about joining and the ActiveRain Group, Build A Better Blog.  Although I don't think that's what he was mentioning in the email (my post is on 4/1, his email on 3/30), its nice to know that he knows the real estate industry is out there.
