Sign up to the A to Z Blogging Challenge!

 Don't forget to enter my giveaway for Advent by James Treadwell! Giveaway ends February 2nd, so enter now!
-------------

Some blogging events are so monumental that they need to be heralded and lauded until everyone on the Internet knows of its existence. The A to Z Blogging Challenge is just such an event. Its purpose is simple - blog every day (except Sundays) from April 1st to April 30th, with each day corresponding with a letter of the alphabet.

It's the kind of thing that's easy to do and yet difficult to master. Many bloggers attempt to tackle a particular overall topic or have an underlying theme to their posts. This is where the challenge lies. It's a great opportunity to meet other bloggers from all walks of life. It's an amazing event and one that I highly recommend that everyone participate.

Not convinced yet? I've done the A-Z Challenge for the past two years, and I owe a lot to it for what it's done for the blog in terms of readership. I've made a lot of good friends along the way, so I can't sing its praises enough.

Just pop your link on the Bloghop below and sign yourself up for the blogging event of the year!

Who's participating this year? Do you have a theme in mind already?

  1. I'm going to try this blogfest out. I'm going to listen to the pros and visit five blogs every day. I think that will be enough.

    1. The A-Z kickstarted everything. Were it not for you and Arlee, this little blog might well have fall into obscurity.

    1. Good to have you on board, Josh. Whatever the theme is, make sure you can get a 'Q' word in.

    1. No worries, Lynda. I completely forgot to enter until AFTER I'd written the blogpost! It's going to be an awesome challenge. Are you doing a theme for your posts?

      Delete

  9. I'm participating, too. I already have my theme planned out--now I just have to settle on the subjects and--oh yeah . . . write the posts. :P

    1. Good luck! I'm less a planner, more a pantser when it comes to these. I work out a general theme and then just wing it. Helps keep things fresh :)

    1. That makes two of us :) I think I will, though I don't know how many people's eyes will glaze over when they see things like pirate-metal.

  15. I just snorted at Vic's comment above. Yes, I'm twelve.
    On topic: Signed up and sort of got a theme. I wish 'X' didn't fall on a Friday though ...

    1. You and me both, Sarah.
      What theme are you thinking of? I'm dreading the Q more than the X, myself.

  16. I may pass this year. It is very time consuming, but I changed my mind last year so who know?! :)

    1. Hopefully youll change your mind. I agree that it takes a hell of a lot of time out of your month, though.
