Coffee Break
(www.businessandblogging.com) I have to catch a plane this morning, so I’m afraid I don’t have as much time for a leisurely cup of coffee with you as I usually do.
In fact, I’m already on my second cup - and feeling pretty ambitious. So I thought I’d share some action-oriented posts with you.
The first is a reminder from Vinny Gold at SEOMoz to make your blog memorable by doing more than just write great content - actually give your readers something to do!
And for an article that took that idea to the extreme - read Skellie’s article at North x East that contains enough to do to keep you busy for the entire month of March - 31 Days to Becoming a Better Blogger.
And while you’re there, check out Leo Babauta’s article with still more action steps - Top 10 Off-Blog Ways to Market Your Blog.
And last but not least, don’t miss this amazing post from Easton Ellsworth at BusinessBlogwire, unbelievably entitled 10 Ways Blogging is Like Puking Your Guts Out. I’ve never gotten airsick, but I’d like to think that if I ever do, I will be as inspired as Easton was from his stomach flu!
So, just sit back, pour yourself a second cup and make some ambitious plans for the week ahead. I’ll just be taking mine to go…..!!
Oh and don’t forget to share in the comments below - what actions are you going to take? and what actions are you going to ask your readers to take???

Liz, I like where you’re taking this blog. I’m shifting the focus at mine back to small business blogging so hopefully we can get in a lot of heated debates - er, friendly discussions this year!

Thanks Easton! But I hope that you keep working on the Ultimate Blog Review Guide! I was looking forward to seeing the end of that.
