Being a Better Blogger

Since I started this blog, first on WordPress and now on Edublogs, I have been only the occasional blogger – posting only when I thought about it and had something I thought might be worthwhile to write.  I added the blog to my email signature file.  But I never know if anyone reads this thing.  If they do, they never post comments.  Occasionally a teacher will email me about something on my blog, instead of comment.  Every once in a while someone says something related to a blog post of mine.  But most of the time, I wonder why I even bother. 

Then Steve Dembo who write the Teach42 blog wrote a post recently about being in a blog rut.  Beginning tomorrow and running the month of November, he is running a challenge – Be a Better Blogger in just 30 Days - 30 days of tips and ideas to becoming a better blogger.  I thought I would give it a try, see if maybe one of my fav bloggers can inspire me.  (Okay, knowing Steve gets into a blog rut, too,  does make me feel better…..)
