You put a little work into Edgar today by adding social media updates highlighting the great content in your blog’s archives and Edgar goes to work to share them to your followers not just once but by queuing your updates to keep delivering to into the future.The team at Edgar have put together a special deal for ProBlogger readers which gives you a free one month trial.

If watching videos isn't your thing - here's a blog post I wrote on how I use Edgar.

Hi and welcome to episode 72 of the ProBlogger podcast. My name is Darren Rowse and we are motoring through our series of little challenges that I'm giving you to do before the end of the year, that are going to help get your blog in tip-top shape before 2016. Some of you have been asking, do you have to do all of the challenges? No. That's not the way I designed this little series. I'm hoping that at least two or three of them are going to be things that you could achieve. 

Just a reminder,
