Does anyone have a plugin they like using on Wordpress for monitoring traffic for their site? I have Google analytics, but I want something on site. Thanks in advance.

I use both Analytics and Statcounter. Both are a little different and I think compliment each other well.

My upcoming month is going to be quite busy with finals and moving/traveling, so I would like to find 2-3 guest writers for my blog, "From M.E. to You." (www.meaganevertson.a3on.net) The intended audience of my blog is business students in college, entering college, or anyone curious about social media and marketing. If you are interested in writing a post for my blog it would be greatly appreciated and I would love to hear any ideas you have. Just message me here!

Last summer, my internship was just me and the principle. She has since gained a couple employees, but the opportunity has and is still proving to be very beneficial to me. I was able to have a one on one learning experience. I have gained a mentor and she has been a wonderful help as a reference and more to my career as I look to move forward.

Bloggers: how do you balance between writing for your own blog, and reading other blogs? To be a serious blogger should you be more extreme in the producing side and not balance the two? DO you find yourself reading too much and neglecting your own blog? Here's another thought: is blogging a zero sum game? As in, is there a fixed number of blog readers and not everyone can have a blog with even a 100 subscribers or a consistent audience.

I have wondered how much reading vs. writing I should do. I have found myself absorbed in reading and commenting and in return seem to have more ideas that pop up in my head to blog about throughout the day as I am out and about. The more I read the more things in life seem to stand out to me as things that I feel I want to write about and share and get other peoples feedback on.

I've been searching and applying to (paid) marketing internships in the Los Angeles or San Diego, CA area and have gone through all possible links, search engines, suggested/recommended site, etc. [Not even kidding] Now, I'm trying here - if you know of anything it would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to find ways to improve promoting my blog, especially now that I'm going to be posting consistently. Would love to hear what others are doing besides the standard Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn feed.

They are both geared to Gen-Y establishing their own identity and reputation online. My own blog is focused on similar issues but geared toward the Gen-X male. I want o use my blog as an apparatus to change careers. I am currently a very well established expert in the field of Database Administration. After twenty years… I want to transition to something new. I want to use my blog, and social media to establish myself in a new field over the next 24 months. In the end game, we may have similar goals for our blogs.

However, I guess I am still hesitant to make that bold step and truly just apply it to myself. I guess now that I've confronted that fact there is only one thing left to do and that's get to work.

I'm curious if you guys have multiple blogs that serve different purposes. I started out blogging about everything and soon realized that isn't a smart strategy. And isn't really a strategy at all.
I have two blogs: one Wordpress and one Tumblr. My WP blog is mainly for longer posts where I am more analytical and pragmatic, serious. My Tumblr is for my random thoughts that aren't really appropriate for a my WP blog theme and direction.

Whether it be profession-related, or just a specific topic - it should be what you are blogging the most about. Then keep more of a personal/freelance kind of blog is that is meant to cover a wider variety of topics.
It offers a sort of balance between formal blog with a goal and target audience, and a more casual blog that can have a specific audience or appeal to many.
