Make the Most of Prompts and Challenges

Looking for writing inspiration? Trying to make blogging a more regular habit? The Daily Post is here to help. Daily prompts and photo challenges can get you through patches of bloggers’ block.

Daily Prompts

To participate in Daily Prompts, simply publish a post on your own blog that responds to the prompt.

Comments are always closed on prompts, but pingbacks are enabled. If you link to the prompt in your post, your post will appear in the list of responses on The Daily Post.

Looking to give your blog a boost and reach new audiences? From a custom domain to more design options, there’s a WordPress.com plan that’s right for you.

If you’re not sure how to build a post around a writing prompt, take a look at our tips for making prompts personal.

Weekly Photo Challenge

Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Each Wednesday, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog anytime before the following Wednesday. If you link to the challenge in your post, your post will appear in the list of responses on The Daily Post. Participants use different tags for their challenge entries, like dpchallenge, WPC, photo challenge, weekly photo challenge, photography, and postaday, which we explain more about below. Feel free to use any tags you’d like.

Discover Challenge

Discover Challenges draw upon the stories and ideas that have inspired us — from interviews with prominent bloggers to personal essays and breathtaking illustration and photography — all published on Discover, our showcase for the best content on WordPress.

To participate, check out any challenge and publish a post on your own blog inspired by it. Since the sources of inspiration are going to be eclectic, your responses can be in any genre, medium, or format you feel like. A poem or a photo, a webcomic or a longform essay, a video clip or an original song — we welcome your contributions in whatever shape or form they take.

Postaday

Those of you who have personal goals like posting every day or every week are invited to take part in our ongoing Postaday project to stay motivated and focused.

To participate in the challenge, tag your post with postaday or postaweek and follow The Daily Post so all our great resources go straight to your inbox. Don’t forget to snag a badge for your blog so everyone knows you’re a Post A Day blogger, and be sure to follow the postaday topic in the Reader to see what all your fellow bloggers are up to!

Here are official (retina-ready) Post a Day and Post a Week badges to show off on your blog. Copy the code for the badge of your choice into a text widget on your blog.

  2. Therefore, eat blueberries whenever you get a chance
    in any form you like. If you choose diet shakes, be careful to choose those containing more fiber with less
    sugar. Not much research has been done to prove that this is the case though.

  3. Hi! Is anyone else having problems with pingbacks to the Daily Prompts and the Weekly Photo Challenge lately? My posts used to appear until maybe a couple weeks ago. Might definitely be user error (newbie blogger), but I got pingbacks from other sites and the links to The Daily Post in my posts work… Thanks in advance!

  7. Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if
    blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  15. So verschrieen spielen auch hingestellt wird, so ist wissenschaftlich
    erwiesen worden, dass das Gaming, ein dem Alter des Gamers angemessenes Game vorausgesetzt, förderlich für die
    Stressbewältigungskapazität des Spielers sein kann.
    Beim Daddeln von Videospielen lernt man schneller als üblich Entscheidungen zu fällen und seine Aktionen zu priorisieren. Die meisten Spiele vermitteln darüber hinaus
    auch noch Kenntnisse über Management und fördern die Logik des Spielenden. Auch die
    verschrieen Multiplayer Games können doch öfters den an den Haaren herbeigezogenen Effekt des Abdriftens in eine falsche Realität} aufhalten. Der Gamer
    mag mitunter so manchen Freaks begegnen, jedoch findet man manchmal exakt
    in seinem Favoriten Gleichgesinnte.
    Alles in allem: zocken ist hammer! Ungeachtet des Spiels und auch auf welcher Plattform.

  18. If you were planning on building your dream home in 2010 it
    was nearly impossible. The pre-qualification will provide
