Today we are going to create 5 posts for each of our topic blogs. The content of each post will come from the Ezine Article Directory. Follow that link now and do a search for articles related to your two general topic bli ogs.
Each time you find an article that you like copy it (eerything in within the rectangle that contains the article and the name and blurb about the author) and paste it into an new blog post on the appropriate topic blog. Title the post with the same title that the original article had.
Adjust the publication date on each post using "Post Options" found just below the text box where you pasted the article. You will want one post to publish every Wednesday, for example--starting once this challenge is scheduled to end.

#9 Two More Blogs?
Create two more blogs in your Blogger Account. Each will be on a general topic that you care about, that you want to know more about, that you want to share information about. From your "Dashboard" screen find the link called "Create a new blog" near the upper right. See illustration below. (Note I named my two new blogs: Optimum Vigor and Self-Maintenance)
Set up the sidebar in each of your new"topic" blogs the same way that you set them up in the original one that you have been bloggin in for the past week or so. ;) Remember a new site meter for each one!

#6 Sidebar Links
So, how is everything going? Are you writing a post everyday about what you are doing and how your feel about it? Is it easy getting into the habit of going to your special place at your special time to TCB? (take care of business). It gets easier with practice.
In the area where you click on the link to "create" a new post, you will see a tab labled "layout". Go there and you will find something like this:
The modules in the right hand column of this layout are the modules that I selected by clicking the "Add a Gadget" link. There is ONE Adsense, THREE HTML/Java, ONE "Blog Archives", and TWO Link Lists. For each of the link lists you will add a title: Resource Tools and Social Networks.
You want the Adsense ad to be TEXT ONLY and for it to blend with the color scheme of the template you have selected.
The next space is where I put my Donation button for people to send me money through PayyPal. If you do not have a merchant acccount at PayPal you can leave this HTML/Java module empty.
For now your Resource Tools will be empty, just the title.
List your social network links in the Social Networks module.
Blog Archives will be populated automatically. You can fool around with different presentations.
The last HTML/Java module contains the site meter which will tell you how much traffic your site is getting and often times from what part of the world and what IP address. In the future it will be useful to kow where your traffic is coming from and when yu have the most and least traffic and to what degree
your total traffic is growing.
To get the HTML to copy and paste for the free site meter visit:
http://sitemeter.com Click the "sign up" link just below the fold in the left hand sidebar. (as of April 2009...hopefully the site will not have changed the location of this link whenever you might visit)
On all of the colored words click one by one. Ultimately you want to choose "NEVER" for frequency of staaatistics report, choose 1000 lines per page of the reepoort, let the counter ignore your IP address, and copy the HTML to paste into the last HTML module of your blog's sidebar
Call me if you get stuck and I'll do my best to walk you through whatever you may not have quite completed through #6.

#5 Final Touches to the Footprint Copy
Visit the administrative side of each of the social pillar accounts you created yesterday and fill in as much information as possible. Make the information accurate and concise but not flippant. MySpaace offers the most space so USE it! Use the profiles of Mari Ann Lisenbe as models.Notice that there is an main headline, then the text is broken up by sub-headlines. Also wehre appropriate pictures are used to illustrate what she is talking about. Here is a link to my MySpace page as well.
Be sincere and accurate and do your best. You can always revise these in the future and as your life changes you may want to add more or less about this or that aspect of YOU.
Mow make sure all your links work and that there are no typographical errors. :)
