Today was my 15,000th day since being born.  It’s a great time to ask, “And what have you done with 15,000 chances?”

I have decided that taking action is what needs to be done in the next 15,000 days.  So stay tuned to see just what’s going to happen.  (Sounds mysterious, doesn’t it?)

I’m trying to get a web site up and going. It has the potential to have definite social networking component to it. It’s running under Joomla! 1.5.7 (for now) and I’m looking for some extensions to really allow for interactivity.

Everyone recommends Community Builder. I guess I never figured that thing out. It just looks like a really fancy way to enhance user profiles. And without giving you extended group and private groups and all the things I wish Joomla! gave you out of the box. Maybe it does and I am a neophyte in the ways of CB. Then on top of that I guess I need to add FireBoard, something for media sharing, and something like GroupJive I guess for teams and such.

I have also tried to integrate with KickApps. It looked promising, except that would be splashing adds on my site. Not the end of the world, but not really desirable either. Plus I could never quite get the single sign on module to work. Again, I don’t think I understand how that is supposed to work. You have your users browsing back and forth between your site and the KickApps site.

Maybe I should just try to grow my community on Facebook or FriendFeed or Twitter or something… I just found out about a new alternative coming out from rmcStudio - it seems rather new and untested though.

Maybe there is something better suited out there. If I were really motivated, I could look into writing or contributing to an Open Source project to achieve this goal myself. I am not motivated.

I am getting into gear, I have my niche set, I have made an entry, and I’ve done some social posting.  Next I will need to join some forums and keep pounding my site.  I’m looking to get those 200 views.  Slipperiness isn’t a concern for me right now.

I’ve even made a video for YouTube to post - it’s not finished uploading just yet.  Although I’m tired, I feel like I’m really making progress.  I don’t have anything profound other than this status report to share.

In keeping up with my ‘unforgettable five’ I missed my blog post for Friday - but other than that I’m on track.  That is good.  I’m waiting for these things to become habit.  I’ll be curious to see when or if that ever comes to pass.

• @Ed_Dale Having a sample like this really helps the learning! You are ranked at #70 & #71 right now with some indented listing…?? #

• Tweeting as a Cross Training experiment. This should be good enough - let’s see when you try it what happens? #
• @gurubob - RE: adding words to a keyphrase in a URL are the same. Is this true for all on page? eg “the movies” = “crazy for the movies”? #
• @DanRaine Could you setfocus() to Password when logged out of 30DC? T’would save me from having to reach for the mouse. Not a big change..? #

I got off to a good start this morning, but I just had too many things on my list to do today. I did get two blogs up. But only one has decent content on it. And I have some footage of video for the other one - but that will take some editing.

I got my unforgettable five done with this post. Tomorrow I start my new contract job. So I’ll start earning money again. This will make my family very happy.

So I’m off to bed. I seem to be much more of a morning person - I’m so foggy headed right now. How about you? When do you think the clearest? When should your best work be done?

• @Ed_Dale analyze this! http://tinyurl.com/6oq3r4 #
• @Ed_Dale oh, good. Then I have time to go to the bathroom !! #
• @AndrewNez That seems to happen every single night! How come the politicians don’t do something about THAT! #
• I am at the door of the Sunset Hills Bread Co looking for 30dc people. #
