The rubber hits the road in the 30 day challenge

During the first two weeks of the Thirty Day Challenge, we spent a lot of time reading and learning and researching, but not a lot of time “doing”. The wait is over. On day 16, we were shown a new tool that we will use to build our pages where we will drive our traffic. That new tool is called tumblr.com. My team and I are all pretty sure that squidoo.com was going to be the place where we were going to host our content, but since google.com slapped them around recently, squidoo.com wasn’t going to work.

So far, messing around with tumblr.com, I have to say I like it’s ease and simple approach. Creating a� blog-type site can be done in a matter of a few minutes. It handles all the heavy lifting and you can focus on just adding content. Bingo! What’s not to love? They also have several site templates you can choose from, and you can also create custom ones yourself. For the sake of the 30DC, we’re going to use a standard one.

So, I’ve picked my umbrella phrase, I have done my research and I have written my article. Time to set up a tumblr.com account. Since you need to have a unique email address for each tumblr.com account, I went over to google.com and created an email account. I then went back with my new account in hand and tried to set up an account at tumblr.com, but, amazingly enough, somebody else has already chosen my same phrase. Unreal! Jason was kind enough to point out that since I had created the Google account, I could just use Google Pages to create my content. Brilliant! 10 minutes later, I had created my page, formatted the text, added a photo and a link and I was all done.

So, check it out, here is my first content page for the Thirty Day Challenge. I’d be thrilled to hear your feedback. Also, while you are at the page, feel free to Stumble Upon, add it to your del.icio.us account, Twitter it or use any other Web 2.0 social networking tool to give it some link love. You know I appreciate it!
