The 31DBBB task for today involves connecting with blog buddies. These relationships should be mutually beneficial for both bloggers. It helps build community & give you people you can talk to about blogging. It also helps you make each others blogs better. You can give each other tips & grow together. A lot of people try to connect with blogs that are bigger than them, but Problogger makes the point that it's more beneficial to make buddies with people at a similar level as you. This way you can grow & learn together. I feel really lucky to have several bloggers I would consider buddies! I get emails with tips & ideas on a regular basis! I also really enjoy talking to several of them through my BlogFrog community . Right now I'm most active on my community & my blog buddy Adriel's community ! Forums like these are great places to find blog buddies. Where are you finding blog buddies? How do you think these relationships help you?

I have posted before about how I was trying to do the ProBlogger 31 Days to a Better Blog challenge, but it's harder to do it by yourself & be really motivated. Then I saw that the SITS girls are going to be starting it on July 19 & they're going to have leaders & doing it as a part of their BlogFrog community . This provides several opportunities for me. 1. I wanted to do the ProBlogger challenge anyway & this will motivate me to keep up with it & be really proactive! 2. It provides community ( which I love ) & a great way to meet more bloggers!! 3. It allows me to see some much more advanced bloggers use their BlogFrog community, which I need to get better at! I currently don't use mine at all & I need to!! So join with me!! Let me know if you're going to do it so that I can look for you in their community posts & discussions on BlogFrog!! I'm also going to follow all their people on Twitter! If you aren't already following...
