This will be the start of a series on MyBlogLog (maybe see the end of the post). Most of the people that I talk to whether on the monthly Blog Talk Radio show, in various forums and conference rooms know about it but are probably only scratching the surface on what is there.
Usually they join just for the shiny object – the sidebar widget you can add to your blog that shows who is visiting and allows you to show others when you have visited. Just look to the right on this blog and if you are logged in at MyBlogLog your avatar will be there and I can see who is visiting.
Anyone can click the avatar and go see more about you at MyBlogLog.
There is a lot more to the service though than just the widgets.
It can be used for…
- Tracking what is happening
- Creating interaction with others
- Research what is hot in your area
- A portal for all of your social interaction
So the first part here if you are not using MyBlogLog is go sign up and get an account. Make sure to fill out your profile, add your picture or what you use for an avatar (very important this is what will brand you as you visit others blogs) add in the tracking code and widget to your blog.
Then if I get enough comments I will continue the series and get into some of the real power of using MyBlogLog. So if you are interested in this topic your comments will decide if it continues.

Mike,
I am using MyBlogLog and am using the part of the system to track my stats. Love that part of it!
I know that there is a whole lot more to it than that but have not taken the time to explore as much as I probably should.
Looking forward to the rest of the posts so I can learn more, so here is my contribution to the comments.
Thanks and have a great one,
Brett McEllhiney

Hey Mike!
Great idea for a series! Unfortunately, I’ve been one of those people who set up an account without understanding how powerful it really is.
I’m definitely looking forward to learning more about it so I hope there is enough interest from others to keep this series going.
Thanks Mike!

Mike,
Great idea. I’ve been using MyBlogLog for several
years but never expanded on the concept.
Two issues that I have had are, 1- I have to
remember to always sign in or it logs me out
constantly and number 2- Not sure if I want to
put more than a few of my blogs in. Any thoughts
on that?
P.S. You were I believe the first Community I joined.
Best,
Abi

Graet idea. I have not used it just because I did not see a benefit from it. I’d like to hear more and may apply it to one of my blogs.
Thanks

Hey Maike,
You have a already a big community. Had to go to several pages to see if I was a member (Yes, I was on the last page…).
Keep the tips and comments going on MyBlogLog Mike!

I’ll admit that I have only used the basic features of MyBlogLog, but I see that there is a lot more that can be done with it.
It’s amazing sometimes what you find out about a service you were using, but hadn’t looked deeply into it yet.
