Announcing MyLifeIsFIRST

[Libby K]

What a cute idea! I know I'm always glued to FML, MLIA and TFLN .... time to add yet another acronym to my bookmarks!

Another website to spend my time on? If Chief Delphi wasn't enough already!

But this is an amazing site! Well built, fun, and about FIRST!

Can you add an RSS feed?

Thanks Basel, great stuff!

One piece of advice, in order to get the word out there about the site, you have to promote constantly and make sure there is good content to bring people back.

Thanks Libby and Alex!

There's a few upgrades and bonuses planned for the site, and I'll add that to the list. It being build season, my life is extremely hectic; I'll revisit these ideas once I get some free time (after AP tests when I'll have a total of... 1 real class).

Thanks Richard! Today was actually a pretty landmark day, with over a full page of stories shared. Now that the content is flowing, I hope the site becomes more attractive to wider groups of FIRSTers. That said, I've been trying to continue to get the word out.

Part of the onus is on the users. There's no way one person can contact the 50,000 student FIRSTers, let alone the 10,000+ mentors. As MLIF's fans grow, so too will the number of FIRSTers who at least encounter the site.

I encourage everyone to follow our Twitter and like our Facebook page for the latest updates.
