Day 1 Assignment Information I started this blog on April 26, 2010. My goal was to iovrmpe my writing skills and learn to write for an audience. I thought the best way would be to start writing about my work experiences which would challenge me to write about my strengths and how awesome I am. I soon realized I’m not really great at tooting my own horn. Anyway, I’m still looking to find my own ‘voice’ online. I had added Google Analytics because I love all things google but honestly I didn’t really know how these analytics will help me. But now that I’m participating in the 31 Days to Brand New Blog Challenge and Day 1 challenge made me think about this a little more.

I bet all the the direct visitors are just me and my friends (who are way too nice and lazy to leave comments!) 4. Based on keywords most of the search engine visitors are coming to the site because of my name and it could people from the past wondering about me (?) or people who are looking for the Shari’ah law and misspelled it. I just don’t want keywords to be Lindsay Lohan + Jail by end of August! Based on today's lesson. I like to make goals (and lists):
