A few have complained to me about not posting more posts in task series and I apologize for the same. The reasons were slightly personal and will be a little difficult for me to share with you all. However, Darren has come as a saviour for me and thousands of his blog readers who’ll get the opportunity to improve their blogs in a series of 31 days to build a better blog.
Currently, I’m writing this post while I’m sitting in the Food Court of Inorbit Mall in Mumbai and this is the first time ever, I’m getting a chance to blog using the wi-fi connection in India in public. I will be honest, I was literally amazed to get this kind of facility over here. While, I was doing my regular work, I noticed that my productivity level had gone up as compared to while I’m at my home/office setup and started to ponder that what exactly brought this change?
One fine day, I get an email from Dreamhost that tells me that how my blog’s database is over loaded. I was literally shocked and thought that it might be some kind of security attack because of which my blog’s database was bloated or could be causing some kind of problem. However, I was relieved to know that it was any security attack on my wordpress blog however, it was bloated because of comment spam.
As we discussed in our last post, that today’s task will be about making comments on other blogs. Now don’t think that this task will be simple for anyone of you and even for myself. The task is one week long and that it will surely help you in improving your blog’s visibility. This task will surely help you in increasing your blogs traffic and will help you in finding new readers.
Before I go further! I would like to make an apology to all my readers as the task that I’m sort of assigning is something I need to follow as well. I know that lately, I’ve not replied back to the comments and I definitely feel sad for not being able to follow up on the comments. I definitely want to correct the same mistake to ensure that the conversations around the blog stay alive and generate value for everyone.
So here’s another simplest mistake that many bloggers make. They forget to give that personal touch to the blog. Readers always associate a person behind a particular blog and want to know that who exactly the person is. So here are some of the things that you may try to give that personal touch to your blog!

Continuing with my efforts of improving your blog as I improve mine and completing the tasks that I assign at Task Series, I would like to also share the results and the efforts that I’m putting in. I thought that if tasks weren’t enough for you, then I should share my experience and may be the results will motivate you to participate in the tasks.
