Photo Challenge in March - not a fake Nab

Added a post Feb 21

This is kind of a bummer for me because now I can't set a photo theme later in the year. I mean, I guess I can, but if people start setting alternate themes . . . oh, never mind, it's your blog! Wh... Read More »

The "other blog"

Added a post Feb 15

Thanks, Alianora! I need to put up an FAQ, as this seems to be a common question. I expect most people to post on their own blogs, not here, but you can do both if you like! People who do their blo... Read More »

Thanks, guys! I hope it works. It just seems like this is a nice little community that has to sit around waiting eleven months for something to do. I am ALL ABOUT looking for ideas to keep November... Read More »

wha-huh?

In 2006 I started NaBloPoMo as kind of a joke because I'd failed at NaNoWriMo. I decided that if I couldn't write a novel in thirty days, at the very least I could post on my blog every day for a month. I thought maybe thirty or forty people would do it with me. We ended up with around 2,000 bloggers, I think. In 2007 we had almost 6,000, and the party just keeps getting bigger.

The whole thing is run by me with the genius of Ning.I also owe a giant thank you to Temmy for her support at the get-go, to Bryce for the Randomizer, to Jon, and to all the terrific people who offered last November's prizes.

April HTML badges

In case anyone sees this, I made some new badges for April bloggers and they are doozies, if I do say so myself. My Photoshop skills are excited to finally be crawling out of 1997.

Happy First Day of Signing Up for NaBloPoMo!

So far this is the greatest bunch of profile photos I have ever seen in one place. I wasn't going to single anyone out but Daphne Phillips your lipstick is DIVINE.

(seriously, if there's something that clarifies this, i'd be grateful if you'd point me in the right direction. thanks muchly!)

That definitely helps. Thank you :)

But what about also keeping a section that does have copies of your emails (unless there's a reason you don't want to do that.) Kind of like a "newsletter/announcement" archive? If it's too much of a PITA then it's not TOTALLY necessary. Certainly anyone who's signed up in the past can get your emails through *email* but new people might not get the "full scoop" of what's going on when they're here. (Just me, creating more work for you ;) )

At 9:38am on April 1st, 2008, Eden Marriott Kennedy said…: Those e-mails aren't posted anywhere, but I will put more of an explanation on the main page in the box where I announce the theme, near the top of the let column, will that help?

At 7:59am on April 1st, 2008, partofeverything said…: Hiya :)

I have a suggestion. On the main page, where you list what the theme is for each month, how about having those link to a copy of the emails you send out that explain the themes in more detail? I just answered a question on the forum about "Is it letters we write? Letters of the alphabet...?" I was very tempted to write "Eden says it's ransom letters ONLY." ;)
