Break Pal Challenge

Hello fellow Break Palers,

Wanted to say congratulations to everyone. I'm quite impressed with all the points being racked up. Michele Lord (http://www.breakpal.com/users/michele-lord) is still in the lead. She's relentless but cja1976 (http://www.breakpal.com/users/cja1976 ) is always right on her tail. Watch out though, some of the newcomers are coming on strong.

I noticed that Mrselaineous (http://www.breakpal.com/users/mrselaineous) has some good things to say and has issued a challenge in her profile. You might want to stop by and say hi to her and cheer her on. Or take her up on her challenge.

I just wanted to point out that you might be even more inspired if you used more of the features of the site. Specifically the friends feature. Go to someones profile and click on the friend link in the upper left. This will initiate a friend request. When you are friends with someone on the site it will show up in your profile and also show your friends current points. Current points are the points earned in the last 7 days.

Knowing someone else is watching you can be more motivating. It would be great if some of our users that are really going strong would help out and motivate others. Like Zig Ziglar said (can you tell I'm a Zig fan) "The best way to get what you want is by helping others get what they want". I believe that applies here.

Other features you might use:

Guestbook. Your guestbook is activated once you have filled out any part of your profile. Just go to your profile and click on the user profile tab.

Testimonials. Click on the create content link in the left hand navigation then click testimonials. Your testimonial will then show up on the testimonials page

Blogs. Each user can add blog entries. Same instructions as testimonials except choose blog entry. The group blog will show up at http://www.breakpal.com/blog . I'll point a link there as soon as there is some content there.

and your individual blog will show up at http://www.breakpal.com/blog/your-user-name

Congrats again to everyone who is doing so well

I hope to have another batch of exercises up very soon.

P.P.S. You can also upload your picture to your profile by clicking the edit tab on your profile. You can always get to your profile by clicking on the picture of Liz at the top left of any page.
