In 2006 I started NaBloPoMo as kind of a joke because I'd failed at
NaNoWriMo the previous year. 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 moved over to Ning and got almost 6,000 people, and in 2008 we hit the 10,000 member mark. WHERE DID ALL YOU PEOPLE COME FROM?!
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 have offered
prizes.

Thanks for hosting this and encouraging us Eden!
This is a suggestion for now (if it's easy) or maybe next year (if we can figure it out): could we have a poll at the end of the month so we can see how many people finished, how many missed only one day, and so on? I'm eaten up with curiosity. Of course it would be honor system, but then the whole thing is, right? I thought that might be an easy way to get some rough stats on the outcome of November.
I love the discipline NaBlPoMo brings into my life! Thank you.
PS Seriously, how do you find the time. A zillion members here and your own blog AND you can whip up a button using photoshop? Can you see me bowing down to you?
If you tell me how you got that cool little paypal donate badge I will donate more than a buck to the cause! I need one for my ning social network. Do you need to have a premiere or business account or can you just use your personal account? Thanks. Anna (who is so NOT posting this month. Long story.)
