That might be putting it strongly. It’s just that for years I’ve been seeing the 30 day challenge this and increase your traffic that and it just never seems like something I want to do. I mean, TV doesn’t watch itself, am I right? I was comfortable with that until today. All over the Internet, far and wide, on Twitter, on Facebook on Google Reader and more, the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog challenge was all anyone was talking about. Even my dear friend Hawkins was talking about it. Like many other silly things we’ve introduced and pushed each other into, why would this be any different?

toddh: god help me, I’m actually contemplating this 31 day challenge
Hawkins: just sign up already!
toddh: I’m doing it now. When I said ‘contemplating’ that was a bit of a stretch :-)
Hawkins: even if you don’t do any of the steps, save the emails and at some point the mood may strike you to take action on a couple of ‘em.
toddh: Yeah, I’m going to actually attempt it. We’ll see how much I get through but I think it’s worthwhile and April is a good month because (he says naively) I don’t really have anything going on this month

Problogger is doing this whole thing where he’s giving people structured advice spaced out over 31 days. One 10-15 minute task a day about how to make your blog better. As evinced from the above conversation, I may not be going into this with the best attitude but I’m willing to give it a shot.
