There’s been lots of debate about how to develop the Bloggers Circle. We’d like to make three changes to the way we work in November to see if it helps encourage debate and get more attention for your work.
1. No more generic digest
Instead of a daily email digest, you can see all of the submissions here: http://delicious.com/bloggerscircle
These will be tagged with keywords so that you can filter the submissions according to what is most relevant for your blog. I hope this can help grow the circle whilst keeping it relevant to your interests.
2. A discussion group
We’ve created a discussion group to debate ideas and posts and so you can collaborate with other bloggers more easily. It’s all available here: http://groups.google.com/group/bloggerscircle where you can submit your posts to the monthly digest, discuss themes / ideas for new blogposts and share ideas on how to improve your blog. I hope this will lead to a better sense of community rather than shouting into an email blackhole.
3. Blog of the week
We’d like to try a ‘blog of the week’ competition. To vote, just email your favourite post, putting the web address in the subject of your email, and email it to debate@bloggerscircle.net. The blog of the week will receive a small prize and be circulated to all the members. I hope this will encourage people to continue to take part.
So, what do you need to do?
1. If you want to submit your post, you can email me as before or post it in the forum: http://groups.google.com/group/bloggerscircle
2. Please vote for your favourite post of the week
3. Add http://delicious.com/bloggerscircle to your favourites so you can keep abreast of the debate
. . . . And if this doesn’t work for you, let me know.
