Blog Triage: what a difference four weeks make!
The Blog Triage online blog-improvement seminar is ending today. It’s been an intense and productive four weeks. Alyson Stanfield and Cynthia Morris were tireless in their offerings, and my fellow students were the most enthusiastic and dedicated I’ve ever encountered.
From writing to design, through idea generation, linking, commenting, feeds, and back to writing, it’s been an amazing adventure. I don’t have any before-and-after shots, but I invite you to take a look at these evolving creative blogs. All participants are artists of one sort or another, but some of the blogs focus on other topics. All of them found new life in the last four weeks, and I have a feeling they’ll continue to grow and change over the coming months.
Have fun browsing! And tell them I sent you

Leslie,
What a wonderful thing to do. Thank You.
We almost got to Labrador once but the ferry was out I think. All we could do was see it across the water. If we ever travel that way again I would love to meet you. Marge
Hi Marge! Thanks, but I’ve never been to Labrador. That’s Mavis! You’re very welcome to come meet me, but it will have to be in California or Italy… at least for now!
Hi Leslie and thanks for the mention! Although I’ve been away a lot and couldn’t post to the triage blog much, I’ve really enjoyed your contributions and learned from them, too! Thanks again.
Congratulations on participating in the Blog Triage class, Leslie. and thanks for including me in your list of participants.
Thanks for including my blog link in your blog! It’s been a great class. See you online!
Leslie,
Thank you for your inclusive spirit, and including me in your list of participants as well. I look forward to continued sharing online, and on our blogs.
Wishing you continued success, fondly, Magdalena
Dear Lesley, Thank you so much for doing this and including a link to my blog! This was very kind of you! See you on facebook and twitter!
Much success!
warmly,
Dora
Thanks so much for posting this. I have really enjoyed this class, and I think a big part of that is the great people I met and I feel as if we will continue!!!! Your blog looks great, and I think your stories are very interesting
Leslie: thank you for compiling this class list and links for us.
Everyone: thanks for the opportunity to meet you and learn from you. (And, anyone who’s interested in coming to Labrador to see in person the landscapes I’m posting, let me know when you’re coming! We’ll do a series of blogposts about your adventures!)
Thanks for all the links – sounds like a great experience!
Hi Leslie,
Thank you for including me! See you in blog world.
Beth
I lost track of you when you moved, but now I’ve found you again!
Thanks for posting this amazing list of creative women. I’m having a lot of fun exploring their sites! It sounds like the Blog Triage program was really beneficial to you, as well. Now that it’s been a few weeks, how do you feel like it has benefited you most?
Thanks, Dee. Besides the upgrading of my blog design during the course, I think it’s spurred me to write more regularly and given me a pool of post ideas from which to choose. Since I’m constantly coming up with new ideas too, the pool will probably never be emptied. This is a significant change from my earlier pattern of occasional inspiration and sporadic writing.
I’m glad you’re having fun exploring my classmates’ sites. And I’m VERY glad you found me again!
Take care.
