UPDATE: I misinterpreted what the graph intended. I thought that we had come in 5th for the 2nd week. Ines sent me the link to the actual week 2 results.
One thing that needs clarification. We are using her AR blog for the contest for the time being, until her new site is ready. Then, we'll shift to it. However, the judging is apparently focusing on her current blog on Ines and Rick's business website.

Looks like Ines and I are doing pretty well in terms of our Project Blogger standings. Over the past two weeks we've come in 5th out of 14 (14, right? or is it 12? I'll check.). That's not bad, but...uh hum...it ain't good enough! We're aiming for #1! :-)
In truth, the contest is fun and we're tickled pink to be able to participate, but the real issue is in Ines becoming a more capable blogger and helping turn her blog into a useful marketing tool.
Blog Marketing
On Wednesday, we begin the next session which will deal with blog marketing and, yes, we're going to live that outloud and online so you can benefit.
This section of her training promises to be the most involved, and quite possibly the most productive in terms of turning her blog site into a business generating machine.
One essential component to this section is the completion of her new website, Miamism. It's close, but not quite there just yet. However, because it takes time for traffic to build there are some things we can do in advance.
Project Blogger requests
I do have a couple of requests relative to Project Blogger. One has to do with the polling. Can we find one place to put those polls and keep the current week's there? Also, once a week has passed can we take the poll associated with it offline so that only the current poll shows up? Why are we allowed to continue to vote on polls from previous weeks? Doesn't make sense to me.
The other issue is where to find the results. I'm no busier than the next person, but tracking down contest results has proven to be a bit time-consuming. Can those show up in one place as well?
OK...enough grumbling and complaining. Onward and upwards go Ines and I!
