Creating a blog that works

I've now managed to set up my Google Ad Sense account. Any day now there'll be a big fat cheque arrive in the mail from all the advertising revenue this blog's earned. No? Isn't that how it works? God, I must have been mislead. Never mind, it's set up and that's a small step taken toward finding out more about how blogs can be put to good affect.

Here's a few things I have on my To Do list for the blog, most of which I haven't done before.

• Post a vlog on my blog
• Build my website
  
• Have my blog feed to my website
• Increase the number of places my blog can be found
• Add some pics

There's a few and I know there's heaps more. I've found some excellent ideas at problogger which I'm working through for some more tips.

Part of my reason for working on this blog is to find out how I can utilise blogs in my wife's business. Rita owns an interest in a small group of new age giftware stores and wants help in setting up a web site. I want to create something that's way more than a corporate brochure - a place where people can experience something really unique and exciting and immersive.
