Blog Challenge 08 is Beginning

The Idea:
Sometimes the most difficult thing about blogging is just sitting down and updating regularly. You could have some of the most interesting observations or creative ideas, but if you aren't typing them out ever, nobody's going to read them. Many of us have "updatitis" and we're gonna try to do something about that. We're gonna get a routine going, and just see what happens.

The Challenge:
Post in your blog 5 days a week. That's it. It doesn't have to be full of great content, it can just be an update (How are you feeling today? What have you got planned for the weekend? Did you see something interesting on TV last nite?) but more substantial then "This is my blog entry for today. w00t!"

The Rules:
Post 5 Days a Week (Note: this is different from 5 posts a week. This will prevent us from posting 5 times on a day that we're particularly inspired and then skipping out on the rest of the week)
Weeks will start on Monday and go through Sunday night. Weekly reviews will be posted on Mondays.
Posting links are good, but you should have an explanation to go along with why you thought the page was interesting enough to share. "This Site is Cool" is not enough.
The challenge ends on the US Election Day (Tuesday, November 4, 2008)

Since the challenge is starting on a Tuesday, everybody gets a bye, so the first week will be a 4 day-post week.

Joining up:
If you'd like in on the challenge please add a comment to this post with your Name and Blog Address, and you'll get added to our blog roll. Please feel free to invite your friends that you know have interesting things to say, just find themselves slacking on regular updates.

We will keep track of who is in the challenge, and who has been blogging and keeping up. Links to blogs in the challenge and weekly updates can be found on this blog http://blogchallenge08.blogspot.com
