"Actions For The Day -- 1. Sign up for a Blogger blog, edit it to include a link to your micro-niche blog and add the Blogger to your Posterous account. 2. Sign up for a LiveJournal blog, edit the blog to include a link to your micro-niche blog and add the LiveJournal blog to your Posterous account. 3. Sign up for a Xanga blog, edit it to include a link to your micro-niche blog and add the Xanga blog to your Posterous account."

Today we wil continue to creating our posterous publishing network for our niche.

We will speak about 3 more WEB 2.0 Blogger, Livejournal & Xanga.

Before we starting to create these new accounts, our first goal for today is to create a backlink to our site. And if you wish you'll can customize your WEB 2.0 accounts.

Blogger

This is a Google's service, you should to have you google login information for create one. Signing up process is very easy just follow the instructions. 

For adding your backlink, you could go to Design section of your Blogger admin area and click add the link. Put your anchor text and link as well.

TIP: just pay attention that Robert have links to his actual blog www.GuruBob.co, to Posterous and to Twitter accounts. It makes sense, and if you have a time (you should =) add this two extra links as well.

Livejournal

Signing up process is very easy Just follow the instructions and put your exact theme keyword into the username field. 

For adding your backlink into your LiveJournal account go to yuour profile -> Web Page section and put your details.

Xanga

Again process is very easy, but Xanga is the weakest site, because it's not give you an opportunity to put backlink into your profile page. The way to do this, is just create a new post (with Xanga service not with the posterous) and after that go to edit section of this post and add a backlink for your anchor text of your post.

ps: I didn't creat an account in Xanga, every time when I push create account button it's pop-up an alert message with message. Probably I need to contact with the support team of Xanga service. Definetly ;)

If you have opportunity to create accounts into another service of posterous feel free to do this.

Do you have error alert with you Xanga account? Leave a comment about yes or no situations now.

"Actions For The Day -- 1. Sign up for a WordPress.com blog, edit it to include a link to your micro-niche blog and add the WordPress.com to your Posterous account. 2. Sign up for a Tumblr blog, edit the blog to include a link to your micro-niche blog and add the Tumblr blog to your Posterous account. 3. Sign up for an Identi.ca account, edit it to include a link to your micro-niche blog and add the Identi.ca account to your Posterous account."

In today's lesson of The Challenge 2010 wew will learn hot to creat more WEB 2.0 accounts and and them to our posterous publishing platforw, which is very awesome. 

But before after I saw the first video, I understood that I defenetly should to have any (if not of all) Apple devices like an iPhone, iPad, MacBook and so on. Sorry just kidding, just watch the first (intro) video and you understand what I'm talking about.

Back to the lesson. Robert Somerville will describe all ster by step processes how to set up all WEB 2.0 services. 

WordPress.com

It's a NOT self-hosted version of wordpress (CMS platform) which one we use for our The Challenge micro niche project. It looks very similar to self-hosted version. My recommendations just follow the steps and play around  with it, Actually I recommend you to play around with all (ALL !!!) service which ones are mentioned into The Challenge course. For your username use your theme or more general into your topic keyword.

Tumblr Blogs

Tumlbr is a same to WordPress.com.

Identi.ca 

Identica is a CAnadian service. It looks kind of twitter, but I never heard about this one before. 

For all this kind of service you'll be avaiable or not to put your backlink.

Here is two ways:

1. Just put your root domain http://www.VitalyMakarkin.com (for example)

2. Or link with an anchor text like: <a href="http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com">ANCHOR TEXT</a>. (<a href="http://www.VitalyMakarkin.com">Vitaly Makarkin</a> for example)

Do you know any other WEB 2.0 sites which ones you are using for promoting your projects? Yes?! Okay put them into the comments section now!
