ReplyDeleteYeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! I've waited since 30/04/2012 for this day to come! :D Good luck everyone!

Definitely an adventure. My first time ever trying out this challenge so it'll be interesting to see what kind of things we can all come up with to blog about. :)
ReplyDeleteAn abundance of adventures awaits us all. So many blogs so little time. :)
ReplyDeleteAlex, Arlee, and All (like all those "A" words? ;)) - yes, this does feel like the beginning of a great adventure!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to us all!
Best,
Barbara
I only wish I had more hours in the day to visit everyone's A to Z challenges. I've had a wonderful morning browsing through all the new adventures undertaken! :)
ReplyDeleteReady, Teddy, GO!!

Looking forward to this adventure!
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit it but I nearly gave up last night.. wanted to ditch lame theme, change all my posts, even ones I hadn't written.. etc. etc. It's definitely an adventure and we're only on A.. enjoy everyone!
ReplyDeleteNever give up, never surrender!
ReplyDeleteBring it on!!

ReplyDeleteGood luck with your challenge Alex, here we go again.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Having fun already!
ReplyDeleteAaaand we're off!
ReplyDeleteI thought the idea was short blogs, I seem to be finding blogs with reams of information.

Tossing It Out
Things aren't starting out too well. Visited 4 folks so far. 2 have the captcha thing on, 2 haven't written a post...sure hope things get better.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above commentor, J.L.Campbell...I also couldn't read your post. I used control and + multiple times to get it large enough that the black was visible on the dark gray background. I assume both he and I are older then you. Young eyes might see your blog; but it's very difficult. Hope you'll consider lightening your background so you don't discourage reader from the a-z challenge. I had no clue and @...use it very little and actually really disliked English in school so probably closed out anything I might have learned about it, lol.

sorry for the cut and paste url, but you don't have a place for name and url. The generic google doesn't work well for folks with multiple blogs.
Thoughts on some Adventure
ReplyDeleteyohoo !
that felt good :D
Woohoo!! I'm all set with 26 writers coming in to add their own unique takes on A-Z. Today it's Alpha Males! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, this should be interesting! (I used the word adventure buuut I started writing the post before I saw this one!)

Happy A - Z Day! Thanks, Arlee for creating this amazing challenge! Thanks Team for all you do to make it awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteI took part (and survived) the A-Z last year and it had some rather unexpected results, being indirectly the catalyst for the publication of my book. I would recommend taking part to everyone, thank you.
ReplyDeleteYippiee! I hope I survice till the end!
ReplyDeleteLove the Adventure of the A to Z Challenge!

ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I have already found so many interesting "A's" to read.
ReplyDeletei am still looking for the list of participants haha---a little lost and behind this year--but ready for the fun :)
ReplyDeleteIt's about time too! I have been waiting what feel like forever for the challenge to start. Last week just dragged on. LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck everyone.
Adventure, you say?
ReplyDeleteBring it on, I say! :)
Bring on the adventure!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I have noticed is that most people are not too worried about the length of their blog posts during the challenge. I seem to be over worried about the length of my posts - I probably need to work on that.

I am up and ready for this challenge.

Ready for it! Today's post is up!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I'm ready for this awesome adventure. I'm enjoying all of the posts I've seen so far!
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
A great idea!
ReplyDeleteDid a total seat of my pants blog post! Let the fun begin
ReplyDeleteDo I need my Indiana Jones Whip on this adventure?
ReplyDeleteIt's day 1 and I'm feeling frustration already because a lot of the blogs I've visited today haven't put up their A posts, or they put up a non-related A-Z post instead of A, or it's a link to garbage. :(
ReplyDeleteExcited to be on this adventure with so many wonderful people in blogland. God bless, Maria from Delight Directed Living
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to try this out. 'Adventure' is right - very curious to see what mental muscles it requires to blog on one theme for an entire month!
ReplyDeleteSo what you're really saying is that today is Indiana Jones day, because adventure has a name.
ReplyDeleteI got today covered, then.
This is definitely going to be an adventure! I hope I come on on the other side!
ReplyDelete25 more letters to go :)

Congratulations to all the brave souls on the list. Looking forward to reading you posts!
ReplyDeleteAdventure...what a clever use of "A"...sorry, I'm so excited about today I'm more of my smart-a$$ personality than usual...

@TinaLifeisGood, #atozchallenge
Giving it all a run this year! On the theme of worldbuilding. 'Adventure' would have been a great 'A' for that. Very curious to see what mental muscles the month-long theme can stretch.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I didn't miss the challenge this year - it really will be a blogging adventure! I'm featuring the A to Z of my massive post card collection.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm really looking forward to seeing what other people post for their letters. I like the idea of delving into one topic in sufficient depth to get 26 posts out of it.
This is going to be fun!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm off to read a bunch of blogs. I can't wait to see what's in store for me!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying it so far but had to take a break because my eyes were getting sore. Denise at Organization and Inspiration for Fellow Writers, participant of A to Z Blogging Challenge
ReplyDeleteSo glad I am taking part in this year's challenge! Hoping to meet some amazing people! :D
ReplyDeleteLove it and what an adventure!
ReplyDeleteit really is an adventure, Alex!
ReplyDeleteIt's always an adventure!!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready! It was so cool seeing all the A posts pop up all over the place. It's going to be a great month.
ReplyDeleteSo far so good! Come check out my review of Acne products. :)

This short and sweet pitch actually got me enthused enough to join the A-Z challenge! Should be fun :) Thank you for the opportunity in making us write often, think more, and reach out to people.
ReplyDeleteI'm luv'n this... and we are only on the letter A!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you all in the A to Z.
ReplyDeleteDetox and therapy sessions will be available at my site. Okay, seriously, I wish all of you well.
Gary :)
Yes, definitely an adventure ---- thanks for the encouragement!

Hello! I'm not participating but just wanted to give Stephen Tremp a shout out! I can't get to his blogs and he seems to have disappeared? I hope he is ok! That's it really!!
ReplyDeleteTake care

Letter A is down. Only 25 to go!!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Let the challenge begin!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely going to be a wild adventure. 25 more posts to go and I can't wait. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY, having fun already!!! Now to figure out how to tackle that damn massive list of participants!
ReplyDeleteHooray for adventure!
ReplyDeleteExciting! I've already met some great new blog buddies. This is FUN. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looking forward to this Amazingly Awesome Adventure!!! Many thanks for hosting this and the hard work that each of you are putting into maintaining it! As difficult as it is for us bloggers, it is at least thrice as time-consuming for you guys!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this adventure! Took me till 11 to finish my first post, here's hoping the rest are up earlier =) Thanks for starting this!
ReplyDeleteHaving a lot of trouble commenting on many blogs with my OpenID. The blog isn't on blogger or Wordpress, but self-hosted WP. I had to create an alternate Google/Blogger account just to comment HERE! (Many of the blogs generate "missing URL" errors.)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I used today's letter lots today. Tomorrow I'll just post a regular feature but stick with the alphabet. I do real estate posts, so I just pick a neighborhood or city that fits the letter of the day.
X will need something else.

Hi Alex - it sure is an adventure .. and a fun ride .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI love that! Adventure. It makes it seem almost doable.
ReplyDeleteWhat an AMAZING start. I had checked the numbers earlier yesterday and they were just at 1800.... Now almost 2000 WOW!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun but a challenge. I am thrilled to know that blogger will post a scheduled post even if you are not connected to wifi.... YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
Thanks for your support and dropping by L. Diane. Love seeing your smiling face!
I didn't make the list, but my friend BookishGeek encouraged me, so here's my totally unlisted beauty blog post for today! Er...Yesterday.

I have begun! My A topic was Authentic! Yipee!
ReplyDeleteI was able to drag my husband into this today. I am falling behind though because of my asthma. Will catch up soon.
ReplyDeleteAdventure is a great choice for the letter "A".
