The practice agendas are very similar to blogs - so my question to you in this topic is: Do you follow any blogs (any kinds of blog on the internet)? If so, what are you looking for in a good blog? Is it... * tutorials * Gossip * celebrity blog * humour * Cool videos & images * Useful links I have to admit that I don't really follow any blogs (except the ones at GMC) - so your answer could probably help me, as well as the GMC:ers participating in the new competition, understand how to make a great practice agenda!

Jul 16 2008, 10:53 AM	GMC:er Posts: 64 Joined: 8-July 08 From: Brazil	I am trying to make a 'proggresion track' agenda. I want to share my advances. I dont know if it is cool for someone to read, but at least will keep me motivated. I think that links and tutorials are the most appealing things to a blog/agenda. And I dont know if this is the right place, but in the calendar it is almost impossible to notice which days have posts (i think the number is bold when there is a post on that day, but I am not quite sure). Pehaps a better way to highlight the days would easy navigation. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Jul 16 2008, 11:08 AM	Get to da Chopper! Posts: 2.700 Joined: 18-March 07 From: South Wales, UK	I like to see peoples character show in their blog. Just a list of facts and statements are hardly better to read than something that makes me feel like a real person (who i might actually get along with) wrote the article. So for some that means so dry humour maybe some sarcasm (Well in some of the blogs i read). Also lots of links are always fun! I want to know whats out there on the internet without having to do the hard work looking for them- so links are always great. Also- a question. Giving the reader a question to ask themselves that is relevant to the topic of your article is a great way to make them feel like they are a part of your blog.

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

Something like a practice agenda for me would have to be informative and should contain some detail into what they're doing. If it's just a few lines of this week i'm practicing blah blah then to me that isn't very good but that might just be me personally. I hope some of you guys like my practice agenda and find it useful for making some of oyur own You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
