Welcome to the seventh annual A to Z Blogging Challenge!
Please read and follow the sign-up instructions
outlined below so you sign onto the list correctly!
The
brainchild of Arlee Bird, at Tossing it Out, the A to Z Challenge is
posting every day in April except Sundays (we get those off for good
behavior.) And since there are 26 days, that matches the 26 letters of
the alphabet. On April 1, blog about something that begins with the
letter “A.” April 2 is “B,” April 4 is “C,” and so on. You can use a
theme for the month or go random – just as long as it matches the letter
of the alphabet for the day.
The
A to Z Challenge is a great way to get into the blogging habit and make
new friends. For more details and its history, go HERE
We recommend short posts, turn off Word
Verification, and visit five blogs (or more) a day beginning with the
one after yours on the list.
Blogs must be on an open platform – no
Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, etc. – and comments enabled. Please make it
easy for visitors to comment on your blog.
To
streamline legitimate blogs from advertisement blogs, the Co-Hosts will
be visiting each blog on this list throughout the Challenge. Once the
Challenge begins, blogs showing no activity or those that miss five days
in a row will be removed.
Please
note your blog name and number in all correspondences. Remember that as
blogs are removed, your number WILL change.
There
are categories for those looking for like-minded blogs. Select ONE
category code and enter it after your blog’s
title/name. The code applies to your blog, not your theme for
the Challenge and is purely optional. See the first few blogs
on the list for examples. However, if your blog has adult content, you MUST
mark it (AC) or it will be removed from the list.
Codes are as follows:
ANIMALS: (AN)
BOOKS/REVIEWS: (BO)
CRAFTS/ART: (CT)
CULINARY: (CU)
EDUCATION/SCIENCE: (ES)
ENTERTAINMENT: (ET)
GAMING: (GA)
HISTORY/MYTHOLOGY: (HM)
HUMOR: (HU)
LIFESTYLE/SOCIAL: (LS )
PERSONAL: (PR)
PHOTOGRAPHY: (PH)
TRAVEL: (TR)
WRITING/STORYTELLING/MEMOIR: (WR)
ADULT CONTENT: (AC)
