The Best Article Or Post Of Your Life Challenge
March 3rd, 2008 by CourtNo matter what level our blogs or websites are at, we need to continually challenge ourselves to improve. I’ve been thinking about this concept a lot lately, and would like to extend a challenge to all of you, as well as to myself.
I challenge myself and everyone else to write the best article or post they have ever written, during the next week. I would like to then showcase these posts and articles here on CourtneyTuttle.com. I don’t care what the articles are about and to be honest, I don’t care how good they are. I care about whether they are your best. If your best isn’t very good, that’s ok. Do the best that you can.
Next Monday (3/10/2008) I will be providing a list of these posts so that each of you can get a link and some exposure to your sites. Please leave a comment on this post to let me know where your article or post can be found so that I can include you on the list.

Your on! I shall return before the week is up with a quality article!
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Sounds like a good challenge and I am always up for one. Better get started.

As promised here is a helpful post I wrote about how to master Google Reader. It concluded my RSS series of posts and it might make you a Google Reader Power User. Enjoy!

Neat idea Court — now I’ll have to see if I can come up with a “best-ever post about WordPress” (that’ll be hard!)
March 3rd, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Very generous Court. I accept your challenge.
March 3rd, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Is this Court’s Internet MOTIVATIONAL school? LOL. I don’t have the time. Too busy building niche websites. Thanks though.
March 4th, 2008 at 12:14 am
Yes, I’m curious about this, too. Is this site going to move away from the “actual useful information” foundation into just another blog about blogging? I had noticed that with the 2 new posters. Not that this type of writing is valueless or they aren’t any good, but to me it seems to weaken the brand, and shifts into the territory of any ordinary blogging site.
March 4th, 2008 at 1:31 am
Come on Robert, this isn’t even the first time that I’ve done something that gives people the chance to get some exposure.
You really don’t know me very well if you think I’m going to stop providing good information.
March 4th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Don’t misunderstand; I was ASKING, not decrying you’ve jumped the shark and abandoned us all or anything like that.
I suppose it wasn’t clear, but I wasn’t sure exactly how to articulate my concern in just the right way, either. I know yall have been busy with BZ and the hacking problem, but the “3 Musketeers” posting frequency has been off lately. Actually it’s good to have alternate content in that case, but like I said, it’s the nuts and bolts that really set this site apart from the myriad of others below it.
March 4th, 2008 at 4:13 am
Robert I would say that Court provides a lot of solid content as you stated. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t implement what he already has written about. I have enjoyed his other writers and I think it is a smart example for all of us to delegate to others and I think they have brought different viewpoints. I think this is a good opportunity for everyone and Court included himself in this competition. So I am excited for what he is going to write here in next week.
March 4th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Plus, good information is awesome, but actual links from a solid website are very valuable too.
Writing well is a solid foundation to internet marketing. If you have well written content and content people want, then you can blow up your website’s hit tracker through services like digg and stumbleupon, etc.
Yah, there’s other important aspects to internet marketing, but if you have crap content, no one will stick around or click on your ads.
March 4th, 2008 at 4:12 am
That is too much of a challenge to ignore. I’ll be there.
March 4th, 2008 at 4:46 am
Hi Court,
This is my best article. I spend 3 hours to get it done and discussed with my blog partner.
http://secretsofunlimitedwealth.com/successful-mindset/a-single-secret-that-will-change-your-blog-business-and-life-forever/
Hope you will have a look and hope everyone will benefit from this. It’s my greatest inspiration recently!
March 4th, 2008 at 5:11 am
Okay, here’s my post. It’s got resources, recommendations and an example! The example was the real effort.

March 4th, 2008 at 6:24 am
Hi Court,
I’m not sure whether this is my best, but I would still like to feature it since my heart, soul and a lot of past tears are the essence of this post.
http://www.thewritersmanifesto.com/blog/2008/03/04/a-letter-to-my-parents/
It is about the struggles of one person (me) against mentally abusing parents and still coming out on top at the other end. It might help to inspire other people.
March 4th, 2008 at 6:38 am
Hey Court,
Just saw the opportunity and thought I’d share what I believe is my best post. It’s by far the most commented, and slowly building a name for itself (search for: poor man’s bans).

Hey Guy!
This is actually supposed to be a new post! If you can create a new post that is your best, I would love to add it to the list.

To bad it’s Sunday and I can’t read it yet
Mine is a very popular post. I wonder why?
March 10th, 2008 at 11:52 am
Hey Steve! Would it be possible for you to submit a different post? I have family that reads my blog and I’m not comfortable linking to a post of this nature.
I think you’re a great guy and would never want to offend you, but this isn’t subject material that I’m comfortable with.
March 10th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Okay, it’s recent but I did like the other one better
Is is okay even if my post is almost a month?
Are Bloggers Lazy Or Just Lacking SEO Vision?
P.S. I also pondered if I wanted to post it or not. That’s why it was not a full feed and I added some warning.
You can remove the comments related to it if you want. That’s why I created a new comment thread for you.

Hey Court,
I’m busy writing a post right now. I honestly try to do my best on all of my posts, but I think everyone can always try to push their limits
I’ll definitely be back w/ a link.

Hi,
I have found your postings most useful. Anyway, just want to thank you for the reminder that blogging for money is indeed a tough job and not easy money. I have put up my post here. It is not the best but it is the best I can produce in the limited time I have.
