PROJECT A: WEIGHT LOSS BLOG

I’ve been working on A Merry Life, my healthy living blog. I posted a list of 13 Christmas gift ideas for weight loss, which made me some money from Amazon commissions (yay spare change!).  And I hit my 500th blog post over there and talked a little bit about being dedicated to a healthier lifestyle.  I mentioned a few weeks ago that before I left Vermont I wanted 500 subscribers to that blog.  I hit that goal and I’m now almost 100 past it.  Things are going really well with both my own weight loss efforts and growing my blog in that particular niche.

Oh, and I also wrote a post about how to create a weight loss blog since many of my readers had asked me that question.  Although it’s for a weight loss blog, it can be used to create any kind of self-hosted wordpress blog, even a travel blog.   *update* I went ahead and edited it a bit for a page on how to start a travel blog. Get to work!

PROJECT B: MEMPHIS PHOTOGRAPHERS WEBSITE

I’ve also decided to turn something that was previously a personal project of mine into a more useful site.  I previously was using shootmemphis.com as a site for my personal goal of documenting Memphis through pictures.  It has a long way to go, but I just recently decided to change the site to more of a Memphis photographers directory and resource.  It will be a lot more fun if the site isn’t just about me, so I’m going to start working towards making that happen.  It’s a nice project for my time off from real work.

PROJECT C: SUPER AWESOME TRIP ABROAD (YAY TRAVEL!)

I’ve got a few other web things happening, but even cooler than those – I’m also starting to figure out the details and plan things for my upcoming trip abroad!  I haven’t done much travel planning yet, and though I’ve known about this trip for a while it is still over  a month away.  Up until now I haven’t been able to get really excited about it.  Once it hits the 30 day countdown next week, I will tell you more about it because it is really exciting. Really, really exciting!!!

Seems like enough to keep me busy for the rest of the month once I add in exercising, my project 365 and lots and lots of holiday fun!
