Weekly Challenges

Every week, The Daily Post presents two challenges to push your blogging boundaries: writing and photography. Writing and photo challenges give you a chance to explore new subjects and help you find great new reads. We’re all inspired by seeing others bloggers’ twists on the same challenge.

Want to join in? Here’s how:

Photo Challenges

Photo Challenges are published every Friday at 12 noon EST. Each week, one Daily Post contributor will offer a theme along with our own photo. To participate, just let yourself be inspired by the theme, take a photo, and publish it. Publish your post at any time before the the next challenge is announced. Tag it with postaday so others can find it easily, and feel free to leave a link to your entry in the comment thread of the challenge.

You can see all past challenges here, or subscribe to a Photo Challenge-specific RSS feed to stay on top of all new challenges.

Writing Challenges

Writing Challenges are published every Monday at 12 noon EST. Some are purely creative, while others encourage you to explore new WordPress.com features to see how they can enrich your blog and your relationships with readers. We feature a few of our favorite responses on Freshly Pressed each Friday.

To participate, simply write a post that responds to the challenge guidelines, and tag it with DPchallenge; feel free to leave a link to your entry in the comment thread of the challenge as well. Publish your post at any time before the the next challenge is announced. You can see all past challenges here, or subscribe to a Writing Challenge-specific RSS feed to stay on top of all new challenges.

  18. Hi.

    I have a couple quick questions regarding the weekly writing challenges:

    1) Is there a word minimum and maximum, say for example, 350 to 700 (random number I made up)?

    2) What days do the weekly challenges run? As in from, for example, Monday to Sunday?

    Any help with these questions would be most appreceiated! (I have searched around here but am still a bit stuck.) 🙂

  20. So happy I found your site. I took my first baby steps last week and posted an entry for the “Object” challenge. I excitedly looked for my post but could not find it. Can you help me figure out what I did wrong? Loooking forward to participating in more challenges. Many thanks to you and the team.

  27. How can I make a sidebar section of old posts I have written that are favorites of mine but aren’t reflected in the readers’ Top Posts section. I had asked that question in Blogging 101 at one point but didn’t have time to do it, and now I can’t find the answer in my archives!

  29. Have you ever considered publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites? I have a blog centered on the same subjects you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would enjoy your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to send me an e mail.
