Week 1: Sept. 26, 2011
Done:Bought domain, selected host, set up wordpress, installed theme.
Flushed out "about."

Learned:Important to document the process of setting up a site. I've done this a few times but it still eats a lot of time when I'm trying to figure out ftp, etc.

Next:Plan some content. Complete 2 posts this week.

Week 2: Oct. 6, 2011
Done:Worked on filling out Corbett's blog plan. I'm about halfway through.

Learned: The blog plan is definitely a useful exercise. I didn't dedicate much time this week (even though I had plenty). I haven't blogged for a long time so it's challenging to write again. I can visualize quite clearly what I want the end site to look like content-wise. But of course now it's up to me to produce it.

Next: Gotta get back on track and FOCUS. My goal of 2 posts last week was premature. I would like to finish the blog plan first.

Week 3: Oct. 12, 2011
Done: nothing <img src='http://thinktraffic.net/mdbp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif&#039; alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />

Learned: Went away for Canadian Thanksgiving so I didn't have any weekend time to myself.

Next: Scheduling time this weekend. 5 hours.

Week 4: Oct. 19, 2011
Done: 3 hours building skeletal posts and finishing the blog plan.

Learned: Scheduling time helps. Blog plan was great. Even though I had done a lot of planning it made me think about things I need to think about more!

Next: Write 3 posts for launch.

Week 6: Nov. 1, 2011
Done: Published my welcome post.

Learned: Missed a reporting week. As punishment I forced myself to publish my first post. It worked.

Next: Publish 1 more post for Friday.
