Hey, I added my blog to the Master List but just realized I made a goof on my Twitter handle. Can you correct it for me? It should be ETNhome. Thanks and I'm sorry for the trouble. Have a good day!

I'm all signed up, and the google form, with the spreadsheet output is a great idea, thanks. No more having to create my own tracking spreadsheet :)
ReplyDeleteDone and am impressed with the google sheet too!!
ReplyDeletePumped for year 4, here's hoping I manage to pull my weight on the writing front, haha
ReplyDeleteSong a Day
All signed up and I love being able to sort and filter blogs on the google sheet. Looking forward to April.
ReplyDeleteYay me! I'm in!
ReplyDeletethis is a little more complicated than before, but signed on, now how do I follow blogs?
ReplyDeleteIf you watch the instructional video on Google Sheets above, it explains how to copy your own list. Alternately, you can follow the blogs the same way you always have!

Signed up with my new blog. Still debating doing it with my writing blog, too.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I love google docs and how easy it is to find others blogs! Thank you for doing it this way!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see everyone's themes during the reveal! Hopefully, I can think of an amazing one by that time.
Happy Blogging!
Done. Third year doing this. First year I could say I'm actually doing educational posts.
ReplyDeleteAlready regretting my theme and I haven't even started yet!!
Good luck everyone and may the odds be in your favour
Love the Google Sheet! Looking forward to my second year :) Still deciding on a theme but it will be related to where I live on the Ecuador coast.
ReplyDeleteThank you, A-Z team, for all of your hard work.
Hope everyone has fun.
I signed up. Dipping my toe in from the shallow end. Year 1.
ReplyDeleteI'm signed up, and hoping I get to Z this year! I finished my first year in 2016, got too ambitious and ended on V last year, but I'm going back to basics this time with ONE dragon and artist per day! Good luck everyone!

Oh lordy! Just added a second blog to the list...am I insane or what? LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi. Signed up but need help please! I went back to add my Facebook and Twitter details but I now see it added both to the list. Is it possible for you to remove the FIRST entry for Rise and Soar(#214 at the moment)? Thanks so much. Sorry to give you extra work. I love the Google Sheet idea.
ReplyDeleteI think I fixed it before I saw your comment. Please let me know if it's fixed now! (Feel free to email me at jrvincente@gmail.com)

Thank you so much!
DeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteSo I made a slight error! I thought the blog category was supposed to be according to my theme for the A to Z. So my theme is more about food but my blog is about general lifestyle. I post food, lifestyle, and etc.
ReplyDeleteIs it okay or do I need to request a change?
That's up to you. I can change it if you'd like. If you post each day, you can choose a different category for your other posts.
DeleteJust let me know by commenting here or emailing me at jrvincente@gmail.com.
Thanks!

Do you recommend I use my blog's genre or the theme? I will be posting only about my theme throughout April. So for April my blog will be all about my baking and cake decorating (edible art). Otherwise it's about everything in general. Please advise :)
DeleteFor your sign up, you may want to put the blog's genre and then in the theme at the end you can explain what you're doing for this A to Z.
DeleteIf you fill out the daily forms, you can select a different category for every blog post if you wanted to!
Ultimately, there's no right or wrong way to do it. It's up to you!

I think this is my 5th or 6th year participating, although I haven't always finished. This is one of my favorite things to do each year, and definitely a morale booster for writers/writing.

Hi I just signed up and filled the google form for theme reveal and sign up- do I need to add my name in the google docs as well?
ReplyDeleteThe Forms automatically put your information into the Google Sheets. You should see them there at the bottom!
DeletePlease fix blog link for CollectInTexasGal #414 on sign up list. It should be....http://collectintexasgal.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks,

I just signed and happy about it, have not thought about a theme, will soon start working on a theme, this is my 5th time to participate, and looking forward to meet a lot of people, happy blogging !!
ReplyDeleteDone. It's my first year.
ReplyDeleteI may have missed it, but is there some way to do ping backs to a certain page here each day, or has that been changed to something else? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWe're doing things differently this year. Rather than have you do pingbacks, we've set up a daily form where you can enter all the information. The link for the form and the resulting spreadsheet will be in the daily post to this blog, so stay tuned!
DeleteThanks so much for the information, John!
DeleteSo I went to last year's theme reveal. But I found this year's so I'll give it a go one more time. I'm doing two AtoZ Challenges this year so that should be fun. Here's the links

Hey, could you please change my theme from 'Hilarity of the Situation' to 'Lessons Learned at 31'? Thanks so much! My blog name is Abbie's Adventure Diaries
ReplyDeleteokokok. I finally signed up. We will see how it goes this year! *totally unplanned*
ReplyDeleteI've signed up again. Put in two blogs but would like to delete one. Any way in which I can do that?
ReplyDeleteDo we post each day we write as we did last year?
ReplyDeleteYou can do that, but you don't have to. We have the Master List so you can just do that, or if you want to, you can also post on our daily lists. Some people will check only the Master List. Some people will check only the daily lists. Some will check both! So in the end, it's up to you.

DeleteReturned for this year, cause I got to get my blogging back on track.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping my website's major upgrade to a WP site (which will include where I'll be blogging A-Z trucks for the second year) will finish in time. If not, I won't be on "the list" but I'll do it anyway.
ReplyDeleteAlso doing shoes, in the "art" category.
Curious about the Master List. Is that link what we should use to direct blog readers to other bloggers? Or is it not exactly a blog hop style event? (My first year. can you tell??) Not sure how to filter or exactly how to use it yet, but I'l figure it out. Thanks for the opportunity to stretch our blogging muscles with this challenge!
ReplyDeleteJQ Rose
I discovered the written instructions and video. I'll study up before April 1! But...I can't find a link to the master list now. sigh But I do see the daily sign ups to add my blog to that. I know how to do that!!! LOL.

So elated participating here for the third consecutive year, love you all :)
ReplyDeleteFirst time I’ve looked into participating. I’m hoping to complete it too. Rather an ominous feeling which makes no sense as I’ve done NaNoWriMo successfully for the last two years! Hoping to link up with new people and have a blast at the same time....if I can figure out how it all work!
ReplyDeleteI needed to revive my blogging habit - what could be better than A to Z challenge?
ReplyDeleteThis is my first year here and am excited. Like anything new, I'll probably fumble through it all, but that's OK. See you all on the other side! :-)
ReplyDeleteReady....steady....
ReplyDeleteSince the day I signed up on the master list and today, I have renamed my blog from My Life in Ecuador to Emily in Ecuador. Would it be possible for an admin to change the name in the master list?
ReplyDeleteFixed!
DeleteHappy blogging!
Hi there,

Sorry, but I'm afraid I don't much care for the Google Docs list. I found it much easier last year to see in the comments who had posted and about what - and I got plenty of people visiting. Hardly anyone this year so far. Now I can't work it out from the spreadsheet, though I have added my posts each day - and today, alas, I can't seem to even scroll through the list. Help! (I have checked out your tutorials, but there was nothing that helped me, it was just the basics I could figure out without a tutorial). Can we have a bit more detail, please?
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you don't like the Docs list so far. We'll be doing a survey at the end of the month to get input. Feel free to share that there as well. I am personally finding the opposite.
DeleteI am not sure how to help you with the spreadsheet.
To get your post on the list, you use the google forms, which are all listed here: http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/p/daily-list-links-atozchallenge.html
To see the list, you can see them each day on the daily post we make down near the bottom.
If you can send us screenshots of your issue, we may be able to help you further.

I agree with Sue - very difficult to navigate. I've tried it on my MacBook and my Surface 3 - both have serious issues with scrolling.
DeleteAs I'm late to getting on the Master List this year (no worries, I'll live) I have checked out the list and fear I feel for Sue - it's not easy.
You might not have an issue with Docs - but I'll bet lots do. It will be interesting seeing the feedback you get.
Good luck, Sue! I'll drop by and check out your posts.
Cheers, Jenny :)
I'd be happy to try to help you figure things out.
DeleteBefore we released it, we tested the system on Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari on both PCs and Macs and encountered no issues. If you can send us screen shots, we can either try to adjust the sheet accordingly or help you figure out how to use it better.
Also, remember that you can download your own version of the spreadsheets and then alter them any way that works for you.
Happy blogging!
