So for the last month or so I haven’t been checking my blog and making sure everything works right. I just assumed it all has because up to that point I had never had a problem…
I WAS WRONG!
That’s right, I should have been checking the blog because as it turns out my email subscription box (that gives away my free ebook) was not popping up when visitors came to my homepage. What does this mean? No subscribers for the last 30 days!
So I went ahead and saw this and fixed it yesterday, in one day I went from 888 rss subs to 896 thats alsmot ten new ones practically overnight! Who knows how many I missed because my subscribe section was not functioning properly!
I am so mad at myself for this but I understand these things happen, I encourage everyone to do minimally a weekly check to ensure everything is working, and don’t be afraid to be a good samaritan either, if you see someones blog not functioning right go ahead and email them letting them know, you may become a friend for life!

We all have our moments like that.
Sucks, but hey better late than never!
By the way, is that popup a WordPress plugin you are using or is it some custom code?
Thanks!
June 24th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I think we should check our blog at least once a week, but I check it everyday to make sure everything goes well.
@Static,
I think TS pays for the tool. So far I don’t see any Wordpress plugin could does this.

Aweber is an email autoresponder, which mean a tool that helps to manage your email subscriber and send them an email automatically for every updates in your blog.

Yes it is very necessary to check blogs regularly and to update them. This help to create high credibility and will even help to check the weather everything is going fine or not.
June 27th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
It is very necessary to have check out at least once in a week so that we can see whats going on our blog & share the thoughts & feedbacks with the visitors & By the way by doing it we can feel our responsibility towards our blog!
June 27th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
ya buddy i completely agree with your comment. Me too check my blog daily and do the changes that requires..
June 28th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
It is very necessary for us to have frequent checkout on the posts published by us because by doing it we get to know about the activities on our posts & also we get the chance to share our thoughts!
June 28th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Definitely buddy its essential to check your own blog daily, and it will help someone to put the right content that a visitor wants..

@mediums,
I agree with you, we need to check and approve others’ comment. Otherwise your first time reader will not be coming back anymore. Btw, there is a Wordpress plugin that helps you to notify your reader that you’ve approve their comment via email, so that they aware about their comments in your blog and they will come back to chat with you.

Many thanks for such a nice post. keep updating like that..
June 29th, 2009 at 4:18 am
@kitchen taps, There is no harm to check it everyday if you have time for it. Its always beneficial to be there.
June 29th, 2009 at 6:24 am
@Motorbike accident claims, Have you check your blog? If not visit there everyday and update it timely.
June 29th, 2009 at 6:27 am
@Make Money Doing Online Surveys, There is nothing wrong to be there. I regularly visit my blog. Its a good idea.
June 29th, 2009 at 6:28 am
@Healthier Licorice, Its always good to be there.

@hotels in cancun, You have very good point of view I am agree with to be a responsible moderator we must update our blog with in time.

Ack! That’s a little scary! I’m glad you fixed it…good tip to remind us to check.
June 30th, 2009 at 5:58 am
You have asked really a nice question that why we should not check out blog every day. We should check out blog every day and update also.
June 30th, 2009 at 6:10 am
I thinks there is no need to do it every day but once or twice in a week its necessary.
June 30th, 2009 at 6:40 am
It’s pretty weird that nobody told you that it doesn’t work. I’d expect someone to send you an email about that or something. Afterall it was the whole 30 day!
June 30th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
having a blog but not any frequent moderator to check it out is just like a kid left on the highway so in my point of view we should check our blog posts from time to time because by this way we get the chances to know the people’s review about ourselves & the skills which we have & some times we get some innovative ideas from our readers!
June 30th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
I didn’t log in all morning to find 4 comments awaiting moderation.The commentators were probably unhappy.

@Make Money Doing Online Surveys,
Even I also do the same, but those who are busy. They should check atleast 2 times in a week.
July 1st, 2009 at 12:24 pm
to get more updated news every one should check the blog regularly …helps to get more info abt the happenings
July 1st, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Do you have an interesting blog or website that you check everyday? What is it and what’s it about? Please help me – I’m bored at work
July 1st, 2009 at 2:49 pm
@Market Research Reports,
Absolutely, for those who are not that busy, then they should check it daily to ensure that their blog is in good condition. But for those who have 100 blogs? Then they should spend some times to check or hire someone to work for them.
July 1st, 2009 at 2:50 pm
@Golf tours,
The more times you check, the better it’s. You’re right, there is no harm to check it everyday, as long as you have time to check.
July 1st, 2009 at 4:11 pm
It is most important to make sure all your websites are working properly on a daily basis. There are so many little things that can go wrong. If you catch it early it can save you time and money!
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:07 am
@facelift,
Definitely, check our blog 2times a week is ideal, but if you could check it in daily basis, then it’s a plus. We have the responsibility to provide our reader a better experience and comfortable circumstances when they read our blog, so that we can keep them longer.
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:46 am
If you want Google to give you better serps you should blog every day.
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:22 am
@Make Money Doing Online Surveys,
Right dude they can hire someone to work for them.
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:37 am
@Pat Testers, I think Your thinking is totally great thinking!
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:29 am
It is necessary to keep checking your sites and i am sure if you do so you would be able to rectify your mistakes and it will be very helpful in on-pages SEO, help to have proper density of keywords and all.

July 3rd, 2009 at 9:44 am
@Calvin Klein Underwear,
Absolutely, Google very concern about our page performance, Google will definitely piss off us if our blog dead for some days. Simply check our blog 2 times a week or everyday if you could do that, just spend 2minutes a day to check.
July 3rd, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Yes,I agree with you that we should check our blog daily.
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
If you have to approve comments than you should check your blog so you dont make commentors angry.
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
@paul, agreed
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:11 pm
It is a well known fact that the blogs are just like your kid so if you wont check them then like the bad habits the spammers will catchup your blog with a strong grip !
July 6th, 2009 at 10:13 am
@Make Money Doing Online Surveys, Ya i think your thinking is really nice for newbie..
July 9th, 2009 at 2:25 am
@bingo play live,
Yea, it’s not a big deal to check only once in a week, as long as you don’t leave it until it dies. If you have more time, do a short check everyday, it takes you 2 minutes a day only.
July 9th, 2009 at 2:59 am
@earn money writing,
This was why I checked my blog everyday. Anyway, I believe that Shannon’s readers might be quite happy because Shannon set the comment system to auto approve.
July 9th, 2009 at 3:10 am
I was checking my blog almost daily, but now I check my blog once 3 days because I have a lot of blogs on hand right now. I may need to spend sometimes to check all my blogs to ensure all of them in good condition.
-Davis-
July 9th, 2009 at 3:19 am
@paul, It takes only a few minutes a day to check your blog, just to ensure it’s in good condition and give better experience for your readers when they step in your blog. It’s not a big deal to spend a few minutes a day, right?
-Davis-
July 16th, 2009 at 5:55 am
Daily would be a pain if you are checking a lot of blogs. But a week will do fine if. Just give a time for it.
July 18th, 2009 at 2:53 am
“I encourage everyone to do minimally a weekly check to ensure everything is working, and don’t be afraid to be a good samaritan either, if you see someones blog not functioning right go ahead and email them letting them know, you may become a friend for life!”
I love checking out blogs every day! It takes up most of my free time in the mornings. And it’s good to know that bloggers appreciate it when we point something out. However, I don’t want to appear as a smart ass sometimes. Are there bloggers who take offense when we point out that something’s not quite with their site?
July 22nd, 2009 at 6:19 am
I thought it’s only an email autorespondance, I’m going to read more about it and plan to sign up Aweber! Thanks for telling us about this Shannon.

Why UGG Boot is So Popular?
Ugg boots, also spelled ugh boots and ug boots, are a style of sheepskin boot, with wool as the inner lining and a tanned outer surface worn by both men and women. Ugg boots often have a synthetic sole, although this is not universal. Uggs are popular with the teenage set, worn by girls with mini skirts, leggings, and with jeans tucked into the boots. UGGS Boots are also popular with boys, wearing jeans or tracksuit bottoms inside them most commonly.
UGG UK Sale, In Australia and New Zealand, sheepskin boots have long been popular with people in rural occupations, such as sheep shearers, who have ready access to the raw materials,. Their popularity increased as a result of World War I and World War II, when they were popular with aviators, because of their need to keep warm in non-pressurized planes at high altitudes. An exhibit of a WWI aviator’s outfit in the Canadian War Museum cites the term "fug" boots. UGG Cardy, Ugg Boots have also been popular with surfers and competitive swimmers since at least the 1960s, for keeping warm while out of the water. The terms ugg boots, ugh boots and ug boots have been used as generic terms for sheepskin boots in Australia since 1950s and 1960s, when they first appeared in advertising and other publications.
The natural properties of sheepskin results in thermostatic benefits. Thick fleecy fibres on the inner part of the boots allows air to circulate and keep the feet at body temperature. Synthetic and faux fur boots do not have these properties and sheepskin boots are highly prized for their effectiveness. Ugg boots are designed to be worn without socks in order to maximize the benefits of sheepskin.
What’s more, This Year’s Hottest UGG Boots Style–UGG Bailey Button Boots, is already starting to sell well. UGG UK Sale, it is not a matter of if this style sells out, but how quickly. Every year people procrastinate and then they can’t find the Ugg Boots they want. So, Shop early for the best selection.
