Featured Story: Show Us Your Projects!

The life of a houseblogger is really all about one thing: projects. Evenings, weekends, free time...it's all about projects.

Projects are a great way to share stories too, and we're always looking for ways to help DIYers find and share good stories.

So, we're happy to announce that we're adding a new feature--Projects--to our site. Now every registered member can add projects and track project progress on their profile pages. As a member works on their bedroom, bathroom, or decorating they can share how far along they are with simple progress bars.





Even better, members with a houseblog can associate blog entries with their projects. Just click on a project, and you'll be sent to a listing of blog entries that detail their work on that project.




Clicking on a blog excerpt then takes the reader to the full blog entry.




Want to see how it works? Jeannie has added several projects to her own profile page as an example.

She has tagged her blog entries on the Houseblogs.net site to match her project name--"wood windows". This takes the reader to every entry on her houseblog that she has tagged with the phrase "wood windows".

Also, check out the project feature in the profiles of Bungalow '23, Cotterpin House, and Our Mystery House!

Here are some Houseblogs.net resources on the Art and Science of Tagging, including an overview of how you can use tagging here on Houseblogs.net and how it benefits your blog.

Projects are just one more way to share and discover great content related to DIY and home improvement. We hope you find them useful in discovering ideas, advice and examples even more easily.
