We're celebrating our Tenth Anniversary here at the April Blogging from A to Z Challenge.
We are in the second week of the challenge! Have people been stopping by at your blog, saying hello? One of my favorite parts of the Challenge is the visiting. A to Z really brings people together. For our tenth year, here are ten things that make visiting even better:
1. Make sure to say hi! If you stop by on a blog, leave a comment, even if it is a short one.
2. Make sure people can say hi on your blog! Check your comment settings to make it as easy as possible.
3. Make sure to leave a link to your own blog. It is sometimes hard to track you through your Google profile, so it makes visiting back a lot easier if you leave an address!
4. However, don't just leave an address. Say something nice first. No one wants a guest who just yells "come see my stuff!" through the window without saying anything about yours.
5. Venture outside your own category! It is fun to visit like-minded people, but it is also fun to discover topics you have never really read about before.
6. Visit back those who visit you.
7. Try to visit a few new blogs every day! Even if just one or two, keep returning to the master list, and see what you can find. You can make new friends in unexpected places!
8. Save your favorites for beyond A to Z. Bookmark them, Follow them, or sign up for their updates. A to Z comes around once a year, but good blogging relatinships are fun all year round :)
9. Sometimes I see people sharing my posts on Twitter or Facebook, and it warms my heart. You can make someone happy by sharing something they wrote that you loved!
10. Put your creativity into your comments. We are all dedicated writers (of posts), we can brighten each other's day by leaving lovely messages!
Everybody say hi! :)

Hey, Hi, what's up? People have been commenting just not on the letter G. However, hurray for the letter H! How is it your date is stamped April 9? Do you live in the future already? I don't know how to do that. It is only 8 pm April 8 where I'm from. Heaven's to Murgatroyd. :)Jackie's Bookbytes Letter G

This is a timely post. I don't know what I'm doing wrong this year but comments are a challenge. Blogger won't take my comments, wordpress only sometimes. I cna;t comment during the day because of a firewall at work and my phone doesn't work either. Even when I do manage to leave a comment or tweet the other blogger's post I rarely get a return visit. Feeling sad, disheartened and ignored. Has the A to Z Challenge become so big that commenting etiquette has flown out of the window? Anyway, I'm enjoying the new blogs and if it doesn't lead to more engagement, so be it.

I always try to leave a comment and say something about the blogger's post. I will admit, I'm finding it harder than usual to reach out to new participators this year but I do visit every single person who stops at my little niche. Thanks to the A2Z team for hosting another challenging year through the alphabet!

Hello Everybody Happy Blogging.

It's been fun doing A2Z. Yes new people have dropped in and I've found some great new blogs. I agree with Anonymous that it has been difficult to make comments "stick" both at WP and at Blogger. I think it's on the WP end. It's not stopping me from reading and commenting. Check my A2Z, on symbols across the globe, at http://tao-talk.com !

ReplyDeleteGreat challenge. Before this week is done, I will visit and comment on other people's blogs. We can get so caught up in our everyday life and forget about building community friendships.

Great post. I've found a couple of new bloggers this time around as always. It is a fun way to learn new things for sure!

Blogging from A-to-Z April Challenge
One of the things I always liked most about the A to Z challenge is getting to meet bloggers outside the book community.
ReplyDeleteToday I'm showing off my new hat and books that start with H. Girl Who Reads

First off, HI all. Second, apologies in advance for taking ages to visit even the people that visit. It seems over the years that I have followed so many blogs doing A to Z that I am struggling to get to everyone - well, not until June, maybe August.......2020. Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteI do find commenting thoughtfully on other's post to be hardest part of the challenge. Even now I am keeping a comment short.
