#ROW80 Goals for Round One 2012

Posted on by ronetw

As we’re sure some of you are aware we haven’t been doing much blogging over here of late and there is only real one reason for that which is we simply forgot all about our little blog we started when Add Deal was just a couple of domain names on a piece of paper.

We said we would find a use for the blog and we have, we’re going to use it as a place where we can increase user awareness of the overall concept of Add Deal as well as what it does, who we are and a whole host of other money-saving ideas and ways in which you can get involved with the Add Deal project.

So we’ve joined ROW80, no we’re not going to row 80 kilometers up river to prove a point, although this cold be amusing.  ROW80 is the name given to a blogging challenge that runs 3 times a year, in essence its a challenge that understand that us bloggers do actually have a life away from the computer screen.  You can sign-up for the ROW80 challenge over on the official web page.  We will also be following the hashtag, #ROW80 on twitter as well as becoming an active member in the Facebook Group and we hope we will be able to contribute to the whole challenge.

Now given that this is our first attempt at the ROW80 challenge we’re going to follow the crowd a little bit and pick it up from there.

So without further a do let’s get started on writing those all important goals.

Blogging 

  1. At least 5 blog posts completed every week
  2. Guest Posts – we’re looking to get our articles on a wide range of blogs
  3. Pages – keep them up to date… – about page needs completing
  4. Comments… read and write at least 10 comments per week on both our blog and other people blogs

  1. At least 30 minutes of exercise to be carried out daily, whether that is through the Wii or from general exercising.
  2. Join an Akido class – blog about it
Photography 
  1. Get hold of a decent digital camera – we must say that taking pictures on the mobile phones just isn’t cutting it anymore..
  2. Take a few pictures with the new digital camera and blog about them
Other
  1. Emails – keep up to date with, tidy, read and reply to messages received from people

We’re confident we have missed a few things out.. however, considering this is our first ROW80 challenge, we’re not doing too bad.
Right, so with this in mind we had best be off and start making headway on completing these goals…
