How to sign up: PostADay / PostAWeek

Here are two challenges we’re organizing: Post A Day and Post A Week.  You can pick which, and then you’ll be committed to posting once a day, or once a week, for all of 2011.  We’ll support and encourage you from this blog every step of the way.

You can join up any time – don’t worry if a few days or weeks have gone by, start now.

Signing up is simple – do the following:

  1. Post on your blog that you’re participating (you can grab a sample post here).
  2. Start using the tag postaday2011 or postaweek2011 with your posts (tips on tagging here).
  3. Subscribe to The Daily Post via email thru the sidebar, or via RSS, and you’ll start getting reminders and inspiration every day.
  4. If you’d like a badge for your blog’s sidebar, get one here!

Once we see your first post, it will help us get a sense for how many people are involved in each program.

And if you need a new blog, it’s easy – go here to grab one.

Got it? Awesome. Glad you’re on board.

      2. 😦
        Sorry about that. No idea what happened. I should have saved that post… Some of the advice was to imagine what the character you are writing about has in their trash bin… To use a random Wikipedia page as inspiration… Etc. What a strange thing.

  5. Last year I did a photo-a-day blog, this year it will continue as a post-a-day blog. 🙂 Still with photos, but not the OMG-it’s-the-end-of-the-day-and-i-still-need-to-snap-a-shot-of-something type captures. LMAO If I haven’t photographed anything, well, I’m not going to beat myself up over it. 😉

  7. I think once a week will be a start for me, don’t want to set myself up to fail. If I do more I will feel I’ve out-done myself, surpassed my goal.

  8. Off and running into 2011 with the ambitious PostADay commitment. No time like the present to see how 365 days shape into the outline of a life through words. Yeehaw & good luck, ya’lls!

  20. I have decided to try the post a day challenge, I just hope I will be able to meet the goal, but seeing that so many people are getting involved has inspired me to give it a try.

  25. Well, I’m giving it a try. Just did my first post, being like the sample one, letting everyone know this is what I’m doing. I like the first topic too, about where you want to travel

  29. I’m in, but weekly because I really want to stick with this and I just know that if I go for a daily blog, I’ll fail.
    Happy new year

  30. I will succumb. Reluctantly, I resolve to drag my noodle to the keyboard at least weekly. Plinking, ever plinking, I will plunk out entry after entertaining entry.

    ~OR~

    Whoo hoo! I relish the challenge and shall rise to the occasion with vigor and fortitude!

    How ’bout I shoot for the ~OR~, which is somewhere in the middle? Either extreme is better than not writing at all… and I look forward to the day when it’s just flowing out of me, with no self discipline required, and no need to psyche myself up… it’s just a peaceful and joyful natural expression. That, I can aim for.
