Blog Challenge Celebration
ByYou’ve done it! You completed the Blog Challenge! 30 days, 30 blog posts – and more! More friends, more traffic, more content. And even if you didn’t get it ALL done – you did more than you would have otherwise – right? 
Watch our Celebration Webinar – opens in new window
Thank you ALL for your participation and support – it’s been a wonderful experience!
OK- I’ve reserved my spot for the celebration on July 6, expecting to be there victoriously!
Still ironing out a few set-up issues-
how to get onBlog Challenge Quick List, setting up Analytics and RSS (will go attempt to do those now).
Since my WP posts automantically Tweet, do I have to retweet to @JeanetteCates? What’s the best way to do this?
And making strategic plan for my content direction & development. Could go several ways….
Look forward to meeting you all at #blog30!
See my response to you on the other post for how to get on the list.
Yes, you’ll need to RT to me about your articles, making sure you have the #blog30 on it.
For your RSS feed – just add /feed to your URL and that’s generally what you need.
Enjoy the process – and be sure you don’t spend more time planning than DOing!
Jeanette, this has been a hoot to participate in! It’s given me a much better idea of what I’m capable of doing on a daily basis and what subjects resonate with the people following my blog.
I look forward to doing this again!
Warmly,
Lis
Lisbeth – so glad you did participate! And congratulations on finishing! A lot of people started with good intentions, but not everyone was able to finish, so I’m glad you stuck with it.
I’ll definitely keep you posted on when we’ll do the next challenge!
Looking forward to the celebration!

Hello bloggers! It’s been great, Jeanette, and thank you again for hosting our amazing 30-day challenge. What a great adventure, to meet so many wonderful people and have a chance to network with everyone.
I will be out of town on July 6th but I’ve printed out the webinar info and will try to call in!

Hey there Jeanette! Just posted my 30th post. I logged into my profile and put “30″ in the field that says # of posts. Is that the only thing I’m supposed to do? Of course, the last line of my last post is a big THANK YOU! (to you personally) It bears repeating here.
I want to do it again — let’s just wait awhile
I’ve got 40 more days in the Hundred Articles/Hundred Days eZine challenge.
Thanks again. I hope I get to see you again sometime soon.
Fondly,
Jeanne
Hi Jeanette, I did all 30 posts to the same blog but I’m not on the list of completers. Need more input about what you need from me to get there. I’ll try doing what Jeanne did.
Thank you.
Kathryn
Ok. Guess I should read all of my email first. I put in the ‘30′ and hopefully I will now show up on the list of frazzled…I mean, victorious writers.
Kathryn
Jeanette, got my 30 in Whoo Hoo! Can’t make the seminar on the 6th though.
Thank you Jeanette. It feels great to have finished the 30 day challenge.
I managed to write the posts. Unfortunately, I was not very good at connecting with all the great people: will try to make up for this by the 6th of July. Looking forward to the celebration. Doreen
I just finished, and I had so much fun – a lot more than I thought I was going to at first. As a graphic designer, I make design happen – but it’s a completely different thought process when it comes to putting it on “paper” (so to speak). I learned a lot from so many of the members during these past 30 days. I can’t wait for the next one! I hate to see this one end. Will everyone keep using the #blog30 to stay in touch, so we can all continue to follow your blurbs?
I am ready to do it again – name the time and date, and I’ll be there! My thanks to Sally Liddicoat (@Atta_Girl) and Ely Delaney (@elydelaney) for helping me find the courage to get started on this trek. Very special thanks to Jeanette Cates (@jeanettecates) for kindly allowing me to jump in late and get started! Lastly, a very special thanks to all of you for your comments and encouragement – it’s been a great ride! I hope to see us all blogging tomorrow!
Happy designing!
Cheers,
Lisa
Thanks for hosting the challenge Jeanette. I can’t wait until the next challenge. I also cant wait to see who all of the final finishers are!
Gwen
Wow! I did it! This was really good for me Jeanette because when I’m in a hurry (which I often am) I tend to just create a blog post that is primarily reporting on someone else’s research or other article.
This helped me to write 30, 100% original posts on music and healing! The only thing I didn’t understand was about RT them to you after I tweeted them? I did put #blog30 but I didn’t think you could RT your own posts? There’s still so much I don’t know but I’ve definitely learned a lot from you and Connie!
Thanks for all you do!
Alice Cash
Jeanette, I logged in and changed the number of posts to 30. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do. Thanks, Corrie
Hi Jeanette – thanks so much for this opportunity. It was great to connect with so many wonderful people on this challenge, both here and on Facebook. It was also good for me from a business standpoint. Part of my virtual assistant services is I manage my client’s blogs and keep them all on a schedule of at least 3 posts per week. Anyone who complains now gets directed to my blog and told to check the calendar to confirm that I am posting EVERYDAY!!!!
Much success to you all!
Lisa
Yahoo! I made it through the month… I’m feeling like quite the writer!
My creative juices are flowing now and I plan to keep up the momentum for writing at least several posts a week if not daily.
Thank you for organizing this for us Jeanette! It’s been great to have the group energy as we wrote our way through the month!
Suzanne Holman
Congratulations to everyone! Now think about how you can repurpose those posts into products, content for your membership site, articles, short reports, and more.
Connie Ragen Green
I love the trophy! Thanks for all your help.
Jeanette,
Thank you so much for hosting this!
I did complete the mini-blog challenge though I don’t see my registration of it. Not sure why, but it isn’t as important as the fact that I wrote 20 posts total, and completed the miniseries. (I just discovered my shortened URL is not correct so that may be the problem. Details, details…:))
I’m delighted to have followers and enjoyed reading other members posts. It was a rewarding experience. Please sign me up for the celebration.
Glad you stuck with it, Virginia! Just log in and enter the number of blog posts you completed in your profile.

Thank you for hosting this challenge. I ended up away for almost half the month so it was a struggle to get it all done, and I’m pleased I did. I’ve never been involved in a challenge before, and it was a blast.
I met some great people through this challenge and look forward to those relationships continuing. I appreciate all the support and help as well. Many thanks.
Anthony
Jeanette,
I am trying to figure out where I need to say I completed the Mini7 and Blog30. On July 1st I left for the weekend, and do not see where I am supposed to say that I completed both of the challenges.
Thank you so much for both challenges.
MJ Schrader
When you log into your profile, there is a field under your twitter and facebook IDs that asks for that information. Just enter it there and I’ll catch it on the next check of completions.
