I'm proud to announce I'm co-hosting the 2013 A to Z Challenge! It will be so fun participating in the Challenge and meeting new people in the blogosphere. The Challenge is the blogging event of the year, so don't miss it! So without further ado, the 2013 A to Z Challenge sign-up!
Are you a blogger? Do you
want to build your blog audience, find new blogs to follow? This opportunity is
your best chance!
Today we begin the sign-ups
for the Blogging from A-Z Challenge April
2013!
As a quick summary in case
you've been offline for four years... this challenge was started by Arlee Bird
of Tossing It Out. He was celebrating a milestone on his blog, and thought that
this challenge might be a fun way to do so. This is now the fourth year and the
hundred or so participant list from 2010 grows by leaps and bound each year.
Last year over 1700 participated!
Rules are simple. On April 1st, post about something that starts with the letter A. On the 2nd, something on B, and so on. You get Sundays off. Whatever style blog you have, this is a challenge you can do! Some freestyle it (like I did my first year) some go with a theme (a lot of folks did that, so I tried it last year and it's much easier so I'm theme-ing it again this year). Whatever your style, you'll fit in fine. So sign-up on the linky below, grab the badge from my side-bar, check out the other co-hosts and follow them (also in sidebar) and start planning! April will be here before you know it!

One more thing, don't freak
out about having to visit everyone. All we ask is that you visit five new blogs
a day, starting with the one after yours on the list. Five! That's totally
doable, and by the end of the month, you'll have met at least 150 new blogs! Of
course, the more the better! Challenge yourself to a number of visits, and work
on that goal.
I'm not going to go into
more details here, because The Challenge has its own blog chock-full of info.
Lots of tabs. Answers to all your questions. It's highly recommended that you
follow Blogging from A-Z Challenge April 2013! And
read all the posts. Following by email will assure you don't miss anything!
Between now and April we
will have tips and hints, introductions to your co-hosts, and lots of other
good stuff to get you ready for the marathon in April! So without further ado,
I give you the sign-up list!

ReplyDeleteThanks for co-hosting. I'm signed up and ready to go!
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to this challenge. I've already started working on a topic list. One of my kids woke me up at 2:30 this morning, because he was scared of the storms we are having. And I'm #160!
ReplyDeleteSigned up earlier today! Thanks for co-hosting.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you on our team! It's going to be great to get to know you better!

@TinaLifeisGood, #atozchallenge
I signed up! I even figured out my theme today! I made up a category for mine, labeling it (WR) and (Geek) since it goes with my theme. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! The list is already HUGE! How fun for you to be co-hosting! That's awesome Livia! I'm hoping I can fit it into my schedule this year, because I had a ton of fun last year, but we'll see. My schedule is a bit overloaded as it is.
ReplyDeleteI'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'll do this, this year... SO fun though...
ReplyDeleteOoh, I didn't realize the list was up already! Thanks for joining the A-Z team and telling us about it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! :)
ReplyDeleteSo awesome for you! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteNice job Livia. Hope you enjoy your first year as a part of the A to Z Team. You're doing great so far!
