Writing projects are heaps of fun, first the task of choosing something to write that doesn’t stray too far off your blogs target but  fits within the theme of the contest.  Then once all the entries have been posted reading them is always good because I love finding new blogs to subscribe to.   This past week I entered two writing projects, and here are my picks for both.

Bluejar

Sarah over at bluejar hosted a ‘how to’ writing project.  My entry was ‘How to self promote when you don’t want to’.  After looking through all the other entries I have my top three:

1. 1. Contains zero trans fat truth or legal advertising.  One of my new favourite blogs, and an awesome post.  Now I know how to avoid trans fats. 
2. 2. How to add copyright notices to your blog. I found this very useful since I had been wondering how to do just this.
3. 3. Mind mapping tutorial on blogging. This post looked at mind mapping online applications. I liked this so much because the mind map you make looks like it has been drawn by hand.

Daily blog tips

Daniel at Daily blog tips also hosted a writing project - the theme was ‘Tips and Tricks’.  My entry was ‘Forgotten someone’s name? Use these tricks’.  I really enjoy looking through all the entries and because Daniel lets us have up to 10 faves - here are mine:

1. 1. 10 Financial mistakes to avoid - Really good practical tips.
2. 2. How I got aerobed to number 1 - Great tips in this post!
3. 3. 5 tips to being interesting - Great post, very interesting.
4. 4. Tips on gaining page views and returning visitors using post series - This is a really good idea. I know I enjoy post series; I usually star them in my google reader so I can read them altogether.
5. 5. 7 tips for brand new wordpress blogs - Good basic tips and not just for brand new blogs.
6. 6. 5 ways to increase internet traffic to your blog or web site - Something I really need to start working on, these are great tips to get me started.
7. 7. 3 mind tricks to feel better.  Great tips, it is always important to remember we decide our reality. 
8. 8. 7 key skills of the successful adwords advertiser.  Even though I don’t use adwords, I really enjoyed this post.
9. 9. Top 10 countdown of your most creative relaxation ideas. Relaxation ideas from people who actually use them and recommend them. 
10. 10. Tips to a healthier you.  Great tips, I am defiantly trying these tips.

Wow thats a big list.  So may good post and only 3 or 10 to pick.  Good luck to everyone and thanks again to Sarah and Daniel.

   This is my first visit to your blog. I liked the post about forgetting names, I will remember your tips as this happens to me all the time.

   PS. Thanks for helping out the shy people of the world (like me).
