Nope, I’m not selling you anything! 
I hooked up with Shelley Ellen over at BlogFrog a little while ago, and a few of us got to talking about doing the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog challenge. Now, I went through this challenge last year (okay, most of it), and I can’t tell you how invaluable the exercises are. You just have to see for yourself.
I plan to do it AGAIN starting February 7. If you’ve never gone through the book, you ought to try it. If you have gone through it, it’s worth doing again, especially if (1) it’s been awhile, (2) your blog has changed, or (3) you have a new vision for your blog.
I know a few of you are interested in doing this, but want to do it with someone else. Now you can. Join the group over at the SITS Forum. You have to register (it’s free) and you have to own a copy of the book (and there is a discount, BlogFrog25, which you can use to get it for $14.95 – less than I paid for it!)
Below, I’ve copied and pasted what Shelley put up on the forum so you can see what all is involved. I would love for a few of you to join me – we need some bizchickblogs representatives!
If you have any questions after this, go to Shelley’s post about it and read more there. If you still have questions, let me know.
Cheers,
Tia
Good Morning Ladies,
Let me introduce myself, *waving, my name is Shelley and for almost the last 3 years I have been chronicling my family’s life on my site; I’m Still Standing. A lot has changed since I began my blog and now I am excited to be gearing up to lead/host The ProBlogger Winter Challenge 2011 here in the SITS Girls Website’s Forum.
This is one of the things that I have come to love about the SITS Girls site; it truly is about supporting one another. I hope you are ready to get out your keypads and start to type away with me!!
For anyone who is participating, or thinking about participating, consider this the kick-off. This is what you can do to make sure you are readyto jump in on Monday, February 7th.
1) Roll Call: If you are participating, or even following along, leave links to your blog, Twitter ID, and/or Facebook Fan page here in the “let’s get this party started” post.
2) Read my kick-off post:
Stop by and read this post which will describe everything you need to know about the challenge, eBook, and how to make sure you don’t miss a day of the “party/challenge” however you choose to see it. *smiling
3) Buy the eBook:
You can purchase ProBlogger’s e-book, 31 Days to Build a Better Blog, here. Be sure to use this summer’s coupon code, BlogFrog25. I just bought it for the discounted price of $14.95 so the discount should work for you too. *fingers crossed.
4) Check out the Tweep list:
If you are on Twitter, follow me @shelleyellen where I have a Tweep list #sitsgirls31dbbb.
5) Get inspired by Darren:
This summer Darren started a discussion in the SITS Girls Community where he gives his input and thoughts on this challenge. Check out his words of wisdom to the last group.
That’s it! If you have any questions, be sure to leave a comment here or contact me via Twitter, @shelleyellen, my blog, or e-mail shelley@im-stillstanding.com.
I’m really excited about having a great group of ladies work on this together to help each other out. Support, support, support!
Smiles,
Shelley
Is the chalenge only for girls? I would like to participate, and I guess other guys, too.
I’m in. It just so happens, I signed up over at BlogFrog, but I’m happy to see some of the Bizchicks will be doing this, too.
Feb 7th is coming up quick!
Count me in, I already got my copy!
Awesome! Don’t forget to drop by the forum and sign up there if you haven’t already!
See you all are leaving the guys out, man! lol.
I’m gonna just ghost shadow you guys. I already have the book but I’ve been meaning to start it for a month now.
Now watch, this works for everyone, but when I do it by the time we get to the end when you go to my site it will just be one of those “This domain is hosted at Godaddy. It’s for Sale!” type of pages…
Good luck everyone!
lol Hey John! I know, it does seem like the guys are being left out, but since the forum is public, you could absolutely ghost shadow and no one would know!
Hi Tia:
Good winter fun. that you are informing us about. I think it is a very goo idea. I am sure
every one will learn something new.
Will you be there with this group? Because If I know some people already I will feel more at home.

Hey Fran – Yes, I will be in the group!
Oooo! Fun!
I’m all over this one! I love the accountability factor. I hope some bizchicks will join me!
Awesome! I know that at least one, Diedre, said that she wanted to do it in a group as well.
