Here’s yet another way to participate in Post a Day/Post a Week: Bust out your journalism skills and try your hand at interviewing! There are a ton of opportunities out there, so we’ll help you to narrow it down.
Interview a Post a Day/Post a Week participant whose main blog topic is similar to yours.
To find an interviewee, check out the postaday2011 and postaweek2011 tag pages, or browse around the blogging buddy listings. When you find a good candidate, get in touch using their blog contact form, or leave them a comment explaining why you admire their work and are interested in interviewing them.
The interview questions are up to you. Maybe you’re curious about what inspires them, and why they started the challenge. Or maybe you want to ask about what strategies they use to overcome writer’s block. Here are 21 blog interview questions if you need more ideas.
Don’t like the prompt? Do your own thing! You may prefer to conduct a face-to-face interview instead, perhaps with a personal friend or family member.
Not convinced? Here are 10 Reasons to do Blog Interviews.

I use this as a form of brainstorming all the time. I wrote about it a little a few weeks ago. I asked myself why random people talk to me about ghosts, which leads me to tonights post about my love of ghost stories. http://wp.me/p1k02d-4d

Hi Erica,
Interviews are another terrific way to connect with others and I have been using them for almost two years on my blog.
Even the blog hop I started two weeks ago includes a featured blogger portion that is all interviews. It’s a chance to give others a platform to shine… 🙂

what about holidays? people are bound to want Time Out from any form of electronic communication. Surely people aren’t going to set up 2 or 3 weeks of blogs ready to go off on their own? i wouldn’t have a clue how to do that and not sure there would be a point?
just a bit puzzled about this?
