Copyscape - Subscribed to service to guarantee that my original content is completely original. I also know who is stealing and posting my content without my consent.

Social Bookmarks - Registered, learned, and used Digg, StubleUpon, Reddit, Delicious, and Diigo.
Social Networks - This was a large task for me. I have purposely avoided all the social networks for a long list of reasons. Every web marketing resource I read says that social networking is important, so I have had to expend considerable effort to ramp up on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Pinterest. The results of my efforts so far: 1 Facebook Like. No, my mother is not on Facebook.
URL Shorteners - Learned about the goo.gl shortner. I also like bit.ly.
WordPress - Learned how to implement, administer, extend, and backup a WordPress site. I implemented 12 plugins. I supplemented my WordPress education with resources from Amazon.

These are the highlights. There is more to the list, but by now you are either bored or reading another post.

My next blog post will happen if all my efforts generate the first cent of income.
