A little over 30 days ago, I committed to a challenge called 100 Days of Focus here on my blog. I admit I was pretty psyched and rearing to go. It was as if I had been given a chance to start the year anew with all my resolutions in hand. This time with a renewed commitment to hit the ground running to accomplish them.
So I started planning…
If you have started a business blog, you have already made a step in the right direction. Business blogging goes a long way to building credibility, influence, attracting ideal customers and clients and selling your products, programs and events. However, you need to make sure you have set up your business blog for success. You can quite easily sabotage your brand building efforts with simple, avoidable mistakes. Look at the mistakes below and do an audit on your own business blog to see if you are making them. If so, fix them right away.

Have you ever felt frustrated because you have a big project or a few that needs to get done but only a few minutes in the near future. Or perhaps you have felt the reverse. You are in a position where you have about 10, 15 or 20 minutes.
Not enough to work on the impactful projects in your business, but you still need to utilize that time on business.
I came across the question on Onstartups.com. You can see the actual question right here
What is the easiest way to get a small business website online

My Top WordPress Plugins – Part 2
I wrote a blog post some time ago about my top 6 WordPress plugins for your blog. Much has changed in WordPress, social media and online since then, surprise, surprise. So I thought it was time for an update.
Here are my top WordPress plugins in addition to the ones or in some cases to replace the others mentioned before.
Akismet Popular and very effective plugin to protect your blog from comment spam. I actually use Akismet in addition to WP Spam Free which was mentioned in my previous post. I get an added benefit from Akismet which I use in my Contact form to prevent contact form spam as well.
All in One Webmaster Excellent, multi-purpose plugin. Useful for submitting your sitemap to various search engines including Google and Yahoo. One feature that I particularly like about this plugin is that it gives you a way to add your META Tag information without manually uploading code to your blog. META tag information is normally required to be added to your blog when you sign up for certain tools like Google and Bing Webmaster, Yahoo Site Explorer and Alexa. Finally, when you sign up for Google Analytics, an essential and free tracking and analytics tool, you can simply enter your Google Analytics ID instead of uploading lines of code.
