Ulitimate Blog Challenge – Blogging Suicide??

Posted by Joanne on January 1, 2012

This month I have decided to embrace my blog and venture into the world of the ‘Ultimate Blog Challenge‘ to write 31 posts, one for each day of January. Exciting? Or blogging suicide? I’m already wondering how I will sustain, not only topics to write about everyday but grammer, spelling, readers?? We don’t want them all jumping ship by 19 when I am writing incoherent dribble!!

I posted this challenge on Facebook and have been gladly greeted by an eclectic mix of bloggers from all manner of genre to join me in blog suicide! My cunning plan is to also maybe ~~pinch a blog or two~~ use other peoples posts for inspiration and discussion. However as it’s January there is the opportunity to write about new year, business goals, reflection upon what we achieved in 2011, making sure your accounts are up to date for the looming January 31st deadline. Ooo the excitement

So join me in my journey – let’s see if a) I can write 31 posts and b) you can stay awake for the month!!

Be Sociable, Share!

Your bit about grammar and spelling interested me. As you know, these are my biggest bug bears when it comes to business people getting it wrong

Do you type your posts in Word first so that it picks up on grammar and spelling mistakes? You may find it useful to do that if you are worried.

Good luck with the Challenge.

It’s going to be difficult Joanne, but we know you can do it – and I’ll give you a nudge if you get tired!

Ally I use Google Chrome which shows any mistakes when typing even on Facebook

Great start Joanne, I’m really pleased to be joining you and the other fab people on this challenge.

I’d like to share something that made me smile. I signed up to a newsletter and after his signature, the chap says “P.S. I don’t charge extra for typos. They’re just my gift to you.”

I’m pretty much a stickler for grammar and spelling but still make mistakes. I do believe it is better to take imperfect action than no action at all!

You have inspired me to enter this too! I love blogging but dont always make the time…. If I can start the year as I meant to go on… Blogging should be 2nd nature by the time the year is over.
