Words from the Bird:
We will soon be announcing our individual co-host subordinate administrative assistant teams. Alex has already announced his. I will be doing so on my Friday post at Tossing It Out. Soon we will also be adding a special tab at the top of the A to Z Blog page with our helpers listed. Be sure to stop in to get to know all of these fine bloggers and follow their blogs along with those of the co-hosts. We are all here to make the Challenge more fun and more efficient for everyone. We appreciate the support you give us.
The A to Z Team will be trying to address as many of the concerns some of you have been asking about here on this blog in the weeks to come. If there are any topics that you would especially like to see us discuss here please let us know. Watch this blog for important A to Z updates.
A to Z Luvs U:
Tomorrow is Valentines Day so don't forget the one you love. Over the past couple of weeks many of you have been showing some A to Z Challenge love with some truly endearing promo posts. It's so nice to see so many love letters in honor of the letters of the alphabet and the Challenge that goes hand in hand with those letters.
Here are a few bloggers who luv the A to Z Challenge enough to have included a post on their blog about it:
Thank you Belinda Nicoll at My Rite of Passage for telling your readers about what you're planning for April. Sounds like a great idea to me!
Don't worry, Deena at e-bookbuilders. You sound like a natural for the Challenge and I think you'll do a great job if your A to Z promo post is any indication.
Danielle Zecher has decided to take on another Challenge after enjoying last year's A to Z. She talks about it in her post on the blog Sweet Tea Reads.
Sunni at Surviving Life announced the Challenge and at the same time did her bit of public service with instructions on how to remove the Captcha word verification from Blogger blogs. If you're still wondering about this process, check out Sunni's post.
Rebekah Loper says she's not going to do this year's Challenge, but she gave us a very nice promo post. Maybe she'll talk herself into participating after she reads her own post.
Teresa at Journaling Woman added her own bit of Challenge news with a reminder for others to sign up. Good to hear from you, Teresa!
Carol Kilgore tossed her blog into the A to Z fray. Stop by Under the Tiki Hut to wish her well.
A challenge enthusiast from India, Phil of Philipscom posted a big announcement about Blogging from A to Z on his blog.
Keep Spreading the Word:
Thanks to all of you who have been telling others about the April Challenge. I know that there are many more than I have listed here. Feel free to promote each other's A to Z posts with your own posts. A big part of the A to Z Challenge is about networking and building community. Be sure to keep on visiting the list and making new friends.
The A to Z Challenge is all about the participants! And we luv all of you!
Great informative post Lee, I simply love the A to Z Challenge as you know having been involved since day one of the first Challenge. This years I have to do extra research and hopefully my music will be back if only for the month of April.

Have to admit, I'm already having a blast with this year's challenge! Thanks to all for making A - Z possible!
ReplyDeleteAfter the past couple of years of "winging it" (just enjoying the freedom of posting about whatever the particular letter of the day was), I think I may go with a theme this year. I'm thinking my theme would be world history. But, since in 2011, my 'K' was 'Kublai Khan' and in 2012 my 'X' was 'Xerxes', those two dudes are out this year. We'll see....
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way, if you think I'm going to play it straight, then you don't know much about Penwasser History.
I LOVE the A to Z Challenge!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a Ninja Minion too - how awesome is that?!
Let's keep spreading that A to Z Challenge love! Be sure to let others know and encourage your blogging friends to join us!

Blogging takes its toll in the long run. Having written tons of content for everyone to read and share, it's worthwhile having someone back you up and saying thanks. Loved reading this!
