In this post, Reflection on this week’s progress template this is a self-reflection suggestion for you to reflect on your week’s progress from blogging. In summary, it’s a blogging journal comprised of three questions. These 3 questions force you to help reflecting on your weekly progress. Copy and paste this into a document – I call mine: Reflect on this weeks progress template.

Then copy and paste the saved document and save it as a new document – what I’d suggest:

Reflection on this week’s progress template (6-29 – 7-2-2020)

(Word doesn’t like having special characters in the file name) and that way you can modify the file from week to week and post your new changes (delete this paragraph and the notes in your first reflection).

1. What did I do well this week?

a. Reflect on what went will in your blogging this week.

b. What new things did you learn and take action on? What came easily to you?

2. What did I struggle with this week?

a. Reflect on what didn’t go so well in your blogging this week.

I wasn’t writing very long posts because I didn’t know what to write or how much to write. Generally, for the best Search Engine Optimization (SEO) performance your posts should be at least 600 words or more. This post at the time it was written was far from 600 words.

When I wrote this post, I didn’t even know about SEO. I knew there was a plug-in and the one suggested to me was called All in One SEO. To be completely honest, I rarely used that particular SEO plug-in at all. It wasn’t until I started using the Yoast SEO Premium plug-in that I started to tinker with the SEO on my posts. But the overall thing that struggled with the most is learning how to navigate my way around the WordPress dashboard.

I mean for example, when I first started blogging I didn’t know the difference between a post and a page. If you’re a blogger you know what I mean and how detrimental that can be to your site’s SEO.

In summary, your posts are the information that changes on a regular basis and are new posts are usually sent to your e-mail subscribers for the first time that they are published. Your visitors are not provided with an e-mail if you make updates to your posts.

A page on the other hand is for information that usually remains constant, like your home page, your About Me page, Contact Me page, Disclaimer page, Terms and Conditions page, and Guest Posts Policy page (optional). The information that you put on a page is not sent to your subscribers. You want to have e-mail subscribers because those are the folks that are reading your blog’s material, looking at your graphics, and hopefully buying your products or affiliate links.
