Alright well, no real post today, just some news and updates I think are useful.

For one thing, the Alexa is dropping, which is awesome, as of today we are down to 239,024, we’ll be in the 100,000s very shortly and under 100k as well! This is a great feat, and I’m looking forward to that day.

Also, the votes are coming nicely for the first MonkeyBlogger Challenge. So far, the “Create a blog and get it earning $100 a month” is winning, and the voting will end in a few days, so get your votes in quick! Once the voting ends, we will start working on the challenge. I will cover my process in choosing a niche, domain, theme, customizing, content, promotion and monitizing. I will post updates more than once a week on the blog’s progress and we will see where this takes us.

In other news, my shoulder is healing well, doctor says in 8-10 weeks I’ll be recovered fully so that’s good news. Also, I will be going out of town in a few days for a week or so, but I will make sure to take my notebook with me and keep the blog running and start on our challenge. I think that this will add a new level to the challenge, showing that it can be done anywhere.

I want to thank all of you for sticking with me and the blog during my hard times, and rest assured, once this challenge starts, you will learn more about blogging and running and promoting a blog than you ever had. Why? Because it will be real. It will be a case study. And best of all? You will be involved. You’ll have a say, you’ll know what’s going on, and why, and I think it will be great.
