12.1.2011 Just found MDBP today. Trying to catch up on reading & implementing. Registered domain name & setup hosting.

12.2.2011 Installed a theme that I can live with. Working on making adjustments. Installed clicky & feedburner. Installed plugins. Posted first post. Will continue to learn & tweek theme. The next couple of days I will analyze audience needs and make a list of 10-20 similar blogs to evaluate. Setup Clicky so it wouldn't record my visits.

12.5.2011 Checked out existing blogs on ecopsychology only to find out most are not active and haven't been posted to for a long time. Posted a couple more posts. Compiled a list of keywords/post topics for future posts. Setup a list on Twitter and started following people of interest. It's looking like there is not much "competition" on this subject. This week I will work on "The Ultimate Business Plan Template for Bloggers" from Think Traffic and audience needs/desires. Also found a theme that I like much better but will not be installing until the first of the year (holding off on tweeking the existing one).

12.6.2011 Setup new Twitter account & started following pertinent people… started getting visits. One visit via search engine, yay!

12.9.2011 Just finished up a project. Now I'm ready to start putting my full attention into this. Getting visitors from comments on other's blogs & through twitter. Hard starting right before the holidays.
