Have a SquareSpace Blog? Post a link to it in the comments section below--I may use your blog in upcoming trainings with newbies in the community
Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 05:52PM Hi everyone,
If you have a Blog with Squarespace and logged into your site recently you noticed they have made some major upgrades.
The good side: They have a lot more options and features.
The other side: We have to get used to the new navigation
We'll do a training going over the new navigation but I don't want you to wait for me to do that. They have some tutorials that you can watch as well. If you have a blog you should be able to get used to the new navigation fairly quickly.
If you haven't started a blog yet, we'll be doing a brand new complete 6 week course all over again, taking newbies from start to finish to create a blog with the new Squarespace platform. No date set for these--I have some re-learning to do myself in there first.
If you have a SquareSpace blog that you created from the first blogging course, I may want to share your blog with the community as an example. Post a link to it in the comments section of this article.

Here you go Mike. It's a bit of a mess but feel free to share it with the community.
I was in the SquareSpace Site today. I like the new look. Although I have not gone through everything yet, I was impressed by the new features they have added.
You can use my site as an example if you like.

Here you go Mike, I've been working on the new design. Feel free to use it.
Hey Mike,
Thanks for taking a peek at my blog. Feel free to use it how ever you like.... good stuff or bad stuff. In any case we'll all learn something. Here's the link... www.Network-Marketing-News.com.
The new squarespace navigation is definitely different. Some of the new layout features are wonderful. But I'm still trying to figure out how to use them without totally redesigning my current look and feel.
Love all the new stuff you're doing.

Hi Mike,
I have a blog originally created with the previous methods and just yesterday switched to a new V5 template. It took me a bit to figure it out but if I can do it anyone can.

I haven't updated or fine tuned it yet, but its a start.

Hi, Mike. I haven't had time to dive into the new look and features at Squarespace yet but I will get into it in next 5-7 days. In meantime, feel free to take a look at my fledgling blog and use as example of good, bad, ugly--or whatever. Thanks, Kate at Simply Home Business
I was surprised to find all the new stuff. It isn't hard, even for a newbie, like myself. Just take the time to poke around. It will all come together, like anything does if you give it some time.

Not the prettiest site, but a work in progress. With Mike'e help, I hope to continue to improve it. Thanks Mike
Don't know how good this is but I'm certianly willing to share it with people. http://www.bestinternetmarketing.squarespace.com
I really need to revisit and revise. After just looking at the new Squarespace maybe additional training can save me. Gotta admit that keeping up with what it takes is taking it's toll. Love the concept can I make it work?? MJ

Kind regards.

Hi Mike - Just wanted to say that I followed the previous training step by step and got our blog up and running - with no prior experience. Is it perfect - no, but it's getting me traffic (and fantastic feedback).
My Blog: http://www.RenegadeMarketerReview.com
Looking forward to the new training. Thanks for all that you do.

Hi Mike,
Here's mine with the new platform at http://mynetworkmarketingsuccess.info
Yet intend to make it three columns, instead of two. Currently creating content enough to utilise the three columns.
Would appreciate your feedback.

Just in the month of August, 529 people visited my Blog http://www.SOSmlm.com... and all this at no cost to me!
I have a capture form on the first page which converts lots of visitors into leads.
I followed exactly what you've been teaching us and it worked.
Now that I know exactly how to create content and drive traffic, I'm going to focus most of my efforts on driving even more traffic to my blog using free strategies.
It's fun to work with my business partners and see them getting the same results. They're all excited just as if this couldn't be true!
Thanks for your help. It really works if one simply take the time to learn and apply what's being taught.

I opened a new blog this past week. 729 hits have come to the blog. Thanks for the good instructions that I have increased the traffic with free natural searches
www.angelabrook.com
I have been looking through these blogs and am very impressed. Those of you who started recently will be able to improve over time and turn what you have into real results. Those of you getting results (like Angela and Stephen mentioned) have learned that a lot can change for the better when you keep working on it. Great job to everyone!
As you know we're going to be starting a new 'beginners' course for people wanting to start a blog. Those of you who have started generating leads from your blogs are welcome to get in touch with me if you're interested in becoming a coach to those moving through the blogging classes.
It would be a paid position and a great learning experience (when you teach you learn on an entirely new level and your confidence grows... you start to see how valuable you are and you build a 'portfolio' as a coach that you can leverage into new products and testimonials for your business).
Email didi@marketingmerge.com with the subject: Blogging Coach if interested
A requirement is that you are producing either lots of hits or leads from your blog.

Mike,
Like alot of the others I am switching from V4 to V5 template so the blog is "under construction" right now. Switching from 2 column to 3 column template. I've had 1,130 total page views. Average 219 per month. I've gotten some nice comments from people that have viewed my blog so I must be doing something right!

I received 359 page views in Aug. and 102 unique visitors in Aug. I have ignored my blog for months and it shows. I have really never promoted it at all.
Feel free to use it.
Thanks, Becky Joubert
I just started this blog and it feeds into my static site. This blog is the depository of all of the excitement I have about internet marketing and business. It is definitely a labor of love.
Also wanted to say keep up the great work Mike, I enjoy all of your efforts and seminars. Some I have to attend after the fact, but, hey! it all counts, right?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for all your help. Here's my blog address: http://ministry-marketing-strategies.blogspot.com/
I have been dealing with our house set on fire so my blogging has slowed. I did get lots of hits when a radical anti-God blog picked up my video about my son sharing how he became a Christian. I go ripped and torn...about it that I "brainwashed" him. <smile> So I was quite active with an audience then.
It has since slowed down.
Thanks again.
