Things I Learned From The A-Z Blogging Challenge


The A-Z Blogging Challenge is behind us but the memory lingers on. What a great learning experience that was! Here's a few things I learned about writing blogs.

Short is always better. A new word I learned is "drabble," meaning 100 words. A perfect length when you have many blogs to read. For example
JJ at the "Disconnected Writer" writes a short and to the point post. Always good but easy reading.

Do you really need "word verification"? I look at it as a big time waster. I have never been bothered with SPAM since I turned mine off. I know, I know, you want it and need it. OK, it was just a suggestion.

I love videos and music, probably better than the next person, but it's so nice when you supply a button for the reader to use if they are in the mood to watch a video or listen to music. I guess I have a one track mind and I prefer quiet when I read.

Multiple blogs are definitely confusing. I inevitably first pick the one where the last post is over a year ago.

Now that my following is growing, I love all your blogs and I want to read as many as possible. You are a joy and you make my day. Love and peace.

I'll be Posting for the A-Z Blogging Challenge

Greetings Bloggy Friends. Beginning Friday April 1, I'll be writing in the A-Z Blogging Challenge. (Not an April Fool joke) This means I'll write a post every day during April (except Sunday) with each day's subject beginning with a letter of the alphabet. A through Z.

Most of the people who have entered are seasoned writers. Do I feel intimidated? Boy, do I ever !!!!!! I've read their slick, published writing and their books. I can't even spell. The phrase that's a new buzz word, "stepping outside the box," that's what I'll be doing. Stepping out of my mushroom cave. Wish me luck, Bloggy Friends and check in on me once in a while.

My theme will be Flamenco. Ole
