How to sign up: PostADay / PostAWeek
Here are two challenges we’re organizing: Post A Day and Post A Week. You can pick which, and then you’ll be committed to posting once a day, or once a week, for all of 2011. We’ll support and encourage you from this blog every step of the way.
You can join up any time – don’t worry if a few days or weeks have gone by, start now.
Signing up is simple – do the following:
- Post on your blog that you’re participating (you can grab a sample post here).
- Start using the tag postaday2011 or postaweek2011 with your posts (tips on tagging here).
- Subscribe to The Daily Post via email thru the sidebar, or via RSS, and you’ll start getting reminders and inspiration every day.
- If you’d like a badge for your blog’s sidebar, get one here!
Once we see your first post, it will help us get a sense for how many people are involved in each program.
And if you need a new blog, it’s easy – go here to grab one.
Got it? Awesome. Glad you’re on board.

I’m going to give Post A Week a try!
I take the challenge, I’ll post once a week
Acepto el desafío, postearé semanalmente
Thxs a lot, have an excellent 2011!!!
Mil gracias, que tengan un excelente 2001!!
Posting once a day! or maybe 365 post in one single day…should do it. Good luck everyone!
Behold, The web is going to explode. 2011 is going to be the more pressed year!!
Good Luck and wish you all the best!
Ok…I’m in. Will post weekly. Thanks for doing this and for teaching me how to blog successfully.
Radical Botany – teaching humans to reconnect with native plants.
Yeah, I’m in!!
Why not, let’s start posting every day. For me, not being native from English speaking country, will be a challenge. But that is what life is all about: taking challenges.
So, let’s begin 2011 with this challenge!! One line a day, or many…
Yep, definitely joining!
Participating on my blog…it was a New Years resolution anyway
hi. doing it! i know i might fail, as i have tried this before, but nothing like getting up and starting again.
Right, let’s go for PostAWeek and see what we can do from there!
So, PostADay might seem like I’m babysitting my blog too much, but there might be some interesting venting that comes out of PostADay… hmmm. Check back and see which one I choose, inspired? Nah, me neither. I’ll give it a go though! Happy New Year!
Great!!! I am in, with my self hosted WP blog
Happy New Year!!
http://fedelosa.com/estare-posteando-cada-dia-en-2011/
I would love to have more ideas on how to use wordpress – great idea
Am seriously considering this. Just want to make sure it is about content and not blah blah blah-tent!
what about if using Indonesian language
I will be posting in spanish, so I think there is no problem
Good luck and happy 2011
Post-A-Week it is! Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m going for post-a-week.
Great source of motivation! I’m trying for post a day
I’m in!
Btw, does reblog count?
Yes I were
Post a week for me!
I think the challenge will fun and interesting. I going to be challenge to write in my blogs for this year.
I see you write fiction. I recently came across this post about writing techniques. It’s not specifically about any genre, but could be useful http://michellelocke.wordpress.com/2010/12/27/10-writing-exercises-i-cant-live-without/ Good writing!
When I tried that link, I got a page that said the site was locked out. Does that mean the blogger is not making it available, or that WordPress is locking her out?
Sorry about that. No idea what happened. I should have saved that post… Some of the advice was to imagine what the character you are writing about has in their trash bin… To use a random Wikipedia page as inspiration… Etc. What a strange thing.
P.S. I think ‘locked out’ is just the name of the blog. I tried looking for a Google cache copy, but nothing found so far.
Last year I did a photo-a-day blog, this year it will continue as a post-a-day blog.
Still with photos, but not the OMG-it’s-the-end-of-the-day-and-i-still-need-to-snap-a-shot-of-something type captures. LMAO If I haven’t photographed anything, well, I’m not going to beat myself up over it.
You can follow me at http://td365.wordpress.com/
I will post everyday!
http://iposteveryday.wordpress.com/
I think once a week will be a start for me, don’t want to set myself up to fail. If I do more I will feel I’ve out-done myself, surpassed my goal.
Off and running into 2011 with the ambitious PostADay commitment. No time like the present to see how 365 days shape into the outline of a life through words. Yeehaw & good luck, ya’lls!
I’ve just installed your PRESS THIS button via dashboard – tools – to my browser – thanks for sharing that software solution! great!
I’m going to try and post something every day. Just starting and seeing how far I get!
http://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2011/01/01/languages-ludwig-wittgenstein/
using your PRESS THIS button for a quotation found on my philosophy website blogfrizz …
Excited by the challenge to be fresh, original and authentic!
Thought I commented last night that I am in on the post a day… Guess I’ve got some things to learn about blogging! Good luck everyone.
I’m in!!!! I already posted today before I found this pae, so I will make my announcement tomorrow. Woo HOOO looking forward to 2011!
Leila
I think this is a tremendous idea. First post is up for me.
P.S. This blog – http://djbs2011inmusic.wordpress.com/
All right, I’m in. I’ll be realistic and shoot for once a week. Accepting a public challenge is a great way to get motivated–thanks!
I’m in for a post a week. It certainly will get me motivated.
http://idunhoe.wordpress.com/
I’m in but for me it’ll be a post a weekday…
I have decided to try the post a day challenge, I just hope I will be able to meet the goal, but seeing that so many people are getting involved has inspired me to give it a try.
I’m in, think this is a great idea for making regular blogging a bit more attractive as a challenge rather than a chore!
This is my actual blog (my user name seems to link to another blog which is more a website for a community club rather than my actual blog!) – http://neitheryieldnorreap.wordpress.com/
We all need a little support & I’m looking forward to trying to Post A Week! Thanks so much!
Post A Week for me!
Well, I’m giving it a try. Just did my first post, being like the sample one, letting everyone know this is what I’m doing. I like the first topic too, about where you want to travel
http://leonnyes.wordpress.com/2011/01/01/im-posting-every-day-in-2011/
I’m joining in. I wrote a lot in 2010, more than a post a day actually but not one each day as such. I’ll do it this year.. it’s a challenge I’m setting myself: to do at the minimum one post each day. I’ll take the topics from here too..
Cheers n Happy New Year..
I will try from today to post daily on each of my three main wordpress blogs:
http://artonthenet.wordpress.com
http://onecook.wordpress.com
http://recession2009.wordpress.com
Very ambitious of you!
I thought I was ambitious pledging to do it on two blogs.
http://whatsbuggingmetoday.wordpress.com/
http://whatsbuggingyoutoday.wordpress.com/
I will be back to back to visit your sites.
I think this is a great idea. First post is up for me
Is it possible to join in German, too?
Happy New Year!!
Astrid
I’m in, but weekly because I really want to stick with this and I just know that if I go for a daily blog, I’ll fail.
Happy new year
The Hog
I will succumb. Reluctantly, I resolve to drag my noodle to the keyboard at least weekly. Plinking, ever plinking, I will plunk out entry after entertaining entry.
~OR~
Whoo hoo! I relish the challenge and shall rise to the occasion with vigor and fortitude!
How ’bout I shoot for the ~OR~, which is somewhere in the middle? Either extreme is better than not writing at all… and I look forward to the day when it’s just flowing out of me, with no self discipline required, and no need to psyche myself up… it’s just a peaceful and joyful natural expression. That, I can aim for.
What a great idea! I wasn’t supposed to start my blog until January 1, 2011, but have actually been blogging since Dec. 14, 2010. I just can’t seem to stop myself. I had no idea blogging was so much fun.
I’ll sign up for post-a-day, since I’m pretty well doing that already. I love the idea of tailoring the daily inspiration to fit the theme of my blog, which is fantasy fition. So I’m rewording the one for yesterday to: What three fantasy worlds would you like to visit, and why?
I am posting. Just put up my first post :0)
I challenged myself a month ago to do yoga and write about it everyday for a year – so this is really going to help keep me going!
Thank you!
Sounds interesting. Keep up with it!
Wow, that’s a really good idea. I’m going to start tomorrow and post every Sunday in 2011. I wish luck for all the blogs that are doing this.
I’m going to do this everyday. Great idea. I hope this opens up everyone to new blogs and new people.
Aaaah, wonderful. This was exactly the kick I needed to start writing. I set up a new blog last week, and have been staring at the thing, racking my brain for a good first post topic, and a way to get myself to update it frequently. I’m kinda excited about this – thanks guys!
I just managed my first post of the ‘Post Every Day’ challenge with 15 minutes left of the 1st January to spare. Great idea, hope that I make it past the first month.
I don’t know if this has been said before, but it might be useful if you make people aware of the ‘schedule a post’ feature. This has been really useful for me for example, when going away on holiday, but still wanting to post on my blog. I guess this feature will be vital for me in this challenge.
Also, can I ask how you, or indeed we, will keep track of everybody who is doing this challenge? Does using the tag ‘postaday2011′ make this possible?
Glad to see you made the deadline. Took a quick look at your blog and I like it. Will definitely come visit again.
Good luck with the challenge!
Happy New Year!
YAY! This should be exciting. I’ve signed up for PostAWeek2011. Let’s see how it goes
Good luck with the challenge.
I like your blog.
I’m game! I’m committing to do a Post a Day for 2011. Yikes!
Good luck to everyone!
“Real Artists Ship”. Steve Jobs is right about that one! In 2010 I went back to programming after having been distracted by other things, and I have recently started a blog to help me be more concrete about finishing things (scripts, applications, tutorials), and making my efforts public. But I have discovered that finishing blog posts is just as challenging:) Yes, I also wrote a post about this. Nice coincidence, this challenge. Thanks, and good work all.
Remember that sometimes perfectionism is just an easy way to procrastinate. What is done can be improved, what is only in ones head, stays there, and improves not. Good work, everyone!
Congrats on taking up the challenge. Read your posting from yesterday and you certainly have the right attitude.
Good luck.
Grazie!
I was reading your blog and took your advice to improve my profile.
It’s curious to see how often an irritation with something leads to new solutions. I keep trying to see a possibility to be creative, by coding or otherwise, in all things that annoy me, but it’s not always easy. It’s easier if it’s just to do with computers and the internet, harder when it has to do with people. And we only can change ourselves.
Anyway, problems can be inspiring, certainly they can inspire blog posts. We should keep that in mind.
Felice anno nuovo a tutti! Buona scrittura, anche. Vi auguro che le idee trovino voi, o voi loro, e che i post che scriverete e i lettori giusti si trovino a vicenda.
Serendipity for all:)
Interesting, I am committed to the Post a Week challenge. I think this would be good for me as I am a bit shy and do suffer from writer’s block at times. All I would ask is for people to read my posts and give me constructive feedback.
Congratulations for taking up the challenge.
Just quickly checked out your blog and I will be back to read more. Looks interesting.
Good luck.
I try to catch it!
Look at my (german) Willkommen in 7DB(hex) …
Maybe I’ll write more and talk less. Good luck to all!
Excellent! Count me in, new blog and all!
Congratulations and Good luck with the challenge and the family.
You can always schedule some to be posted during the time you think you might be a little too busy taking care of other more important matters.
Kind of like, “if you’re reading this post it means I’m….”
Happy New Year!
ok, I’m in!
Good luck with the challenge! I saw your blog and I like it so far.
Okay…I’m in for at least the once a week plan
I’m in for postaday2011 and I’ve rolled out two blog posts already.
Mine will be Chemistry themed as it is the International Year of Chemistry this year.
Interesting blog.
The fact you mentioned the blog’s theme in your comment made me more curious. Probably all commenters should try to briefly summerize what their blogs are about, so we can know we want to click and visit them.
Post a week, no problem. I’m in. Not posting is hard.
Count me in for one post a week – at least!
Here we go, let’s do this thing!
That’s the right attitude.
Good luck with the challenge.
Wow, great idea. Reminds me of NaBloPoMo, but this is much better.
Ok, I’m signing up for the PostAWeek on my 1st blog, http://mercyprophet.wordpress.com/ and PostADay for my second blog, http://bushra101.wordpress.com/
Wishing you all the best,
Bushra
P.S.: I just noticed the note in the sidebar that I’ve to sign up on this post, not the other one.
Having let my blog languish over the past year, I am taking up this challenge albeit in the postaweek category. Good luck to all the fellow travelers.
I’m in! I’ll start with post a week, see how it goes and maybe turn to post a day.
Good luck with the challenge.
I like your blog and will be back!
Count me in! Inspiration is always welcome!!! TheHumanLoom
Good luck with the challenge!
I like your site and the cats in the Christmas tree!
What a great idea – just started a new blog, having helped many others do theirs, so have signed up for the once a week option. Doing one a day feels a bit challenging at the moment and I can always change my mind later. Better to ease my way in then to fail miserably and beat myself up.
I also think that quality posts are more important then quantity if you are going to keep your audience happy!
Wishing all those who participate a wicked ride
Best wishes
Andy
Hi Andy,
Good luck with the challenge.
I like your site and your recommendations as to why you use WordPress for blogging.

Right attitude!
Tried to visit your blog, but there are no links in your avatar to it. If you need some help with it, you can read this.
http://wp.me/p1fqaT-4Y
Good luck with the challenge! Now get writing.
I know I would fail at a daily post, but I’m going to shoot for twice a week!
I’m in for at least once a week.
I’m in for a post a week. Can’t see me managing a post a day.
Good luck with the challenge.
Where is your blog link? How can we offer you encouragement if we can’t visit?
Happy New Year!
Sounds like it could be a lot of fun indeed!
I am in. Good idea

I’m in for the Post a Day! I was already planning on doing this before I saw that it was becoming an actual fun challenge here on WordPress, but it’ll be even better now that there’s a whole community of people doing it with me! Thanks for the awesome idea and support group you’ve created!

Whew! I was worried that after #reverb10 I would lose my blogging mojo. You came along just in time. So, PostADay is for me. Thanks for a great idea, and a great challenge.
