My Announcements I Promised October 1

Another late night post, sorry ya’ll.  I will be going away this weekend to Busch Gardens in Tampa.  I am very excited because I haven’t been to Busch Gardens in almost 15 years.  The last time I went, it was the one in Virginia though and I don’t remember too much about it.  I am leaving as soon as I get out of work tomorrow night and I haven’t even packed for the trip yet.

Well, I promised some new announcements on October 1, but I wasn’t able to get online to post anything and majority of the items have been pushed back, but I will still announce them and estimated release dates of things.  Let’s get started.

• In the month of November, I want to be able to do something for people with diabetes.  We all want to do something, but finding that something may be difficult.  I figured, what do I do best in life? I do SEO and web design for a career, so how can I use that? We always talk about how blogs help us in so many ways.  What about those that read blogs and want to start one, but haven’t gotten around to do it, or don’t know how to.  Well in the month of November, I will be building 20 new diabetes blogs for people that (1) currently have a blog and want a new design or site, etc. (2) create a completely new blog for people that want a blog.  If you want to be included in these 20, please contact me. By the way, I’m not charging, it’s free.
• Now that I work full time for a top online marketing agency, I no longer am running my business full-time.  However, I still do make money from affiliate programs (you click on a link and purchase something and I get paid).  Any money that I do make from these programs, 50% will be donated to JDRF.
• The new #dsma is fully functioning.  I’m not at home during that time to participant, but I read the whole chain that night when I get home and get a chance to catch up.  Don’t forget to send all of your ideas to Cherise for #dsma chats.
• All of your #bgnows are going to become a lot more useful.  The beta version of the #bgnow tracker is almost ready for launch.  Basically, it will pull all of your #bgnows into an exportable excel sheet, including graphs, and along with date and time of your tweet.  Stay tuned for a more accurate release date.
• I’m currently writing a diabetes book, and I promise it’s not going to be like most diabetes books that are out there, because let’s face it, most suck!

Well that is it for my news, exciting or boring, take it as you wish.  Have a great night everyone.
