The future of DailyPost in 2012: details coming soon

Hi folks. The gang here at DailyPost has been talking for weeks about how to improve things for 2012. We’re almost ready for a few announcements, but we’ll need a few more days. I can promise we’ll be continuing to provide inspiration and advice, but with a few new wrinkles and ideas. Stay tuned.

  9. Wot about the PostaWeek crew? You know we want to be in there too :-)

    January 5, 2012
  10. I was hoping something was in the works! We need a new badge, too.

    January 5, 2012
  11. Not for me this year – I participated in 2012, but this year I am devoting extra time to completing my book manuscript! I will still post about 3 times a week, but not every day.

    Good luck to all who continue in 2012.

    January 5, 2012
  12. I`m excited about that :)

    January 5, 2012
  13. Cool! I’m glad to hear DailyPost will be continuing. Waiting eagerly for more news.

    January 5, 2012
  14. Please no more nasty changes! I’m still mourning the old feedback page you used to get after you posted, with global tags to click on, writing prompts and word counts. Adding new features is great, but please don’t take away the old ones!

    Good to know. I’ve been wondering, for instance, if a #postaweek2012 tag will follow the #postaweek2011 tag.

    January 5, 2012
  16. I vote for Postaday2012! Post a day 2011 was very motivational!

    Cheers,
    Louise

  17. That IS good news!
    cheers

  18. That’s good news!
    I am waiting for your announcements.

    January 5, 2012
  19. Yay! I don’t need a daily topic.. but those weekly photo challenges are a huge hit.

    January 5, 2012
  20. Thanks! Will there also be PostaWeek?

    January 5, 2012
  21. i agree with Jane – the weekly photo challenges have beenwere awesome. it would be much appreciated if they could continue. they are a great facilitator for connect with the blogging community, as well as being informative, educational, creative, entertaining, heartwarming, and i will stop with the adjectives now lest this post may be deemed spam.

    January 5, 2012
    • oops – “have been/were”; also “for connecting”; please ignore “may”.
      pardon all the the typo’s

  22. Reblogged this on Ian's Awesomelicious Weblog™!.

    January 5, 2012
  23. Even though it may not be official, I’ve already started ;)

    January 5, 2012
  24. Glad to read this! :-)

    January 5, 2012
  25. Definitely looking forward to it, thank you WordPress :)

    Fanatastic ! This time I hope to get some visuals in.

    January 5, 2012
  27. What wonderful news! I’m looking forward to it! :D

    January 5, 2012
  28. I think the whole concept of the postaweek and postaday challenge was great! My favourite idea however was the weekly photo challenge. Will you continue with this please?

    Your Blogging Buddy post encouraging bloggers to read and comment on other blogs was inspired! I have discovered so many great blogs all over the world and we now all support each other.

  29. Excellent news :)

    January 6, 2012
  30. Pictures! I would appreciate a strong motivation to dig our pictures out from the hard disk and share them with the community :-)

    January 6, 2012
  31. Thanks loads for 2011. I can breath easier now knowing 2012 is in the works. Great job!

    January 6, 2012
  32. Would love to see postaday2012 and postaweek2012. These tags kept me blogging regularly in 2011.

    January 6, 2012
  33. I LOVED Postaday2011! I agree, it was a great motivator. It held me accountable to blog, even when I was going on vacation. And if I was out late, I’d rush back home to make the post for the day. My one disappointment is that once I switched to a self-hosted blog, it seems WP didn’t have a way to track me, even though I had the Postaday2011 link on my blog and used it as a tag on all posts. I had decided not to post everyday so I could read and comment on more blogs and put more time into developing each post but maybe the new Postaday2012 will push me to participate again. And yes, I love the Weekly Photo Challenge.

    January 6, 2012
  34. Hi! It’s great to hear from you guys! It was an awkward silence after 2011 finishied, I kept checking on this site hoping there would be some news about 2012, I’m really glad, you’re already preparing something for us. You did a great job last year, thanks! :D

    January 6, 2012
  35. A post a day was an interesting concept, difficult but as some bloggers showed, achievable. Waiting to see what surprise WP has in store for us now!!!

    January 6, 2012
  36. I am new to blogging an stumbled upon your blog, it’s great. I would love, as others have already said, to have a post a day badge for 2012.

    January 7, 2012
  37. I’d love to see something semi-regular from the Daily Post, although, it doesn’t necessarily have to be every day. Although, I guess you couldn’t call it the “daily” post anymore… :( How about “The Frequent Post?” ;)

    I do enjoy the weekly photo challenges though, more than I thought I would. Thanks WordPress.

    January 7, 2012
  38. I am new and like the idea. Hopefully would become a regular feature.

    January 8, 2012
  39. Word Press please continue with the weekly photo challenge.

    January 8, 2012
  40. You should have badges for people that raised up to the challenge in Post a Day 2011 (so we can replace the old ones, like “I participate in the 2011 post a day challenge or something) as well as new badges for 2012.
    I joined a bit last year as my blog only started late, but looking forward to starting from the beginning this year.

    January 8, 2012
  41. Times up. You said a few more days on the 5th and it’s the 9th. Let’s get this party started. :)

    January 9, 2012
    • you took the words right out of my fingertips! I dropped by today (jan 11, Wednesday) assuming the 2012 announcements might be days old already! Guess not!!!??

      January 11, 2012
  42. I already miss the cheer-leading approach that 2011 had in the topics and inspiration. I wonder what you have in sore for us next. All of us that did the post a week/day deserve a medal of recognition. At least a unique to US badge on the blog that we DID it! it was a great blogging year and I hope to continue – keep the inspirations coming!

    Scott, if you’re burning out on the daily post challenge, it couldn’t hurt to pass the reins on to someone else who can do it. Maybe even a small team of contributors?

    January 13, 2012
  44. I’m hoping for the same badge as last year’s.

    Love the idea of continuing the post a day challenge in 2012. Please tell me that it’s coming soon? I participated and was able to write almost every day for longer than I ever have. Rereading those old posts today, I was actually amazed at how much better my writing became when I was writing regularly. Having a suggested topic was definitely a catalyst for me. Would love to get started again. Please give us an update on when this will begin? Also if you need us to submit some topic ideas so you can have them on reserve, I’ve got a blog idea calendar from Blog Energizer that I can share some ideas from. Thanks for all your work!

  46. I see the “postaday2011″ and “postaweek2011″ is still being used but, shouldn’t we be using “postaday2012″ and “postaweek2012″? Why hasn’t this been promoted in the Daily Post? :(
    It’s not a huge thing, but it’ll make a bit of difference on motivation. New year, new tag.
