I was struck with an idea for a blogging-related event to run on Astaria last night.
As many people know, November is National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. People participating are encouraged to push hard on getting an entire novel written throughout the course of the month.
It turns out that November is also NaBloPoMo: National Blog Posting Month.
So my idea is this: Any Astarian who starts a blog in between now and November 1st, and posts at least one on-topic article demonstrating at least some minimal level of real effort, per day for the entirety of November wins a prize. I haven’t decided what the prizes are yet.
Anyone interested in participating should comment in reply to this post, and when their respective blog is up, I’ll happily add a link exchange to my sidebar.

Sounds like something I would like to partake in. Is there a general topic? If i was to create a blog it would be entirely about food. Being that I work in kitchens.
I suspect that the topic “Whatever you feel like writing for a month about” is going to be challenging enough without adding additional constraints.
Let it be known that my first blog post was published on November 1st. Disregard the time stamp that marked it the 2nd…it was actually 12:08am CST and my day is not yet over.
It is 10:25PM Pacific time (local to me) on November 1st and I am reading your post. Seems totally fair to me.
For the record, NaBloPoMo is short for National Blog Posting Month, and is patterened after NaNoWriMo, which is National Novel Writing Month. Both are November.
