I can’t believe a whole month has gone by since I updated this! And I missed my 4 month date by 1 day!

I can’t say a whole lot has changed in one month. That doesn’t sound good especially paired with me saying I’ve been busy working on the site does it? I know I’ve done something and I don’t think I’ve done useless things - but I’m not seeing much in the way of improvement. At least not with subscriber numbers. It seems to just keep hovering around the same place. Well, my page views have gone up a bit according to google analytics. Although I’m a bit concerned that that may be only from using entrecard. And so far my adsense income seems to be a bit higher this month. But the increases are small.

So what the hell have I done?

- I’ve been blogging at HerProBlog. Hopefully that will help at some point.

- I’ve written up a set of guidelines for myself for writing that I’ve started to use. I think it is helping - at least I seem to get more comments on the posts that I write using them.

- I’ve added a few doodads to the blog - a chat thing and a poll and easier way to subscribe by email. Also some plugins, like one that will help to make sure I get back to commenters

- I’ve participated in networking opportunities at Liz Strauss’s blog and Problogger.

- I’ve started interviewing other women bloggers on my blog

- I’m getting some guest posters lined up

- I’m working on guest posting myself at at least one blog that has a lot more readers than I do

- I’m working on some posts that take more effort to write that I’m hoping will draw more attention to my blog. It will be a few weeks before those are ready though.

- I’m doing a bit better with following up with commenters

What else can I do? Any suggestions?
