Yep, y'all are right on. I just started stepping it up a few weeks ago – realized I had let too many months go by without doing much other than blogging several times a week. No excuses, I just dropped the ball.
My plan as if mid June is pretty much what Suba suggested: get off my butt and start supporting. So far it's helped, and I've been able to spend more time promoting folks and building relationships.
Thanks for the suggestions!!!

Just another note, Matt. Financial Samurai has all potential members fill out a form asking for "references" from members and challengers (I think 5/5 split? – might be more). This is to ensure relationships have been built. I can honestly say I have no idea where the "requirements" post went but it may be worthwhile getting a hold of it.

I looked at the form last night. It's 10 of each now. I've also had trouble locating the requirements post. Is that something we could put into a mailing list type of thing where new challengers get more info up front? There's so much stuff like the carnivals, guest posting guidelines and stuff that isn't clearly spelled out. Took me a while to figure some of that out, but then again if I'd been more active in the forums I'd have figured it out sooner…

New here – I need to challenge myself to take my blog seriously. I am blogging my personal finance journey (I'm 29 now), a little ranting, and a lot of snapshot book reviews. Anyone who reads 300 pages a day knows how hard it is to write a long one!
My blog is very new and I started at something like 29 million. I'm down to 14 million, and I'm going to have to fight hard for 200k at the end of 6 months!

geek, Welcome abroad, I am a fellow challenger too. Now since you joined, you will be addicted in to blogging very soon. expect to get a lot of advises.
Let me first start by advising you to set up your signature. Don't forget to put your blog name in it. My largest referral site is yakezie, and they all clicked my signature.
Welcome again, nice to have you here.

You can get there. Just get involved, get to know others here, and promote others as well. Oh, don't forget to blog on a regular basis.

Thanks for the welcome! Do the forums offer a signature option (still learning my way around) or do you paste in some html? Usually I'm hesitant to include a signature since it's a short trip to get to my blog from clicking my name on the left but I will strongly consider the advice.
I certainly hope the months fly by :) so far it's hard work!

*hard work – not the writing in particular although ideas are barely starting the flow that will eventually be a waterfall, but the remembering to blog the writing

Welcome @geek! If you want to set up a signature, go to your Profile to set it up. When you're logged into the Forums you'll see a few icons on the right hand side a few "inches" down: Logout, Members, Profile. Go into Profile and select the Signatures tab.
