Congratulations!

By Jeanette Cates

Many of you will start to see a trophy next to your name today, indicating that you completed the Challenge! That’s a huge achievement in anyone’s book and you are to be commended!

In addition to the icon next to your name, I’ve also created a special list of those who complete the 30-day Blog Challenge and/or the Mini7 Challenge. You’ll see those new lists on the left.

Pick up your trophy at our Promotional tools site. It’s perfect for adding to your blog!

Just a note about how I’m doing these. I couldn’t figure out an automated method (I know – it’s out of character!) so I’m doing them manually. So if yours hasn’t been “awarded” yet, don’t fret.

If you’re close to completing the 30 days – I’m waiting until you record your last article count.

If you’re not within 10-15 articles  of completing the 30 articles,  I’m giving you credit for completing the mini7.

That way we have the maximum number of Completers!

Keep those counts on coming! You CAN write a few more today.

    Hi Jeanette,
    I am done! Finished my last post for the #blog30. Sorry if this isn’t the right place to tell you. I don’t see where else to tell you about it.

    Yay me!

  2. Good for you! Anyone not having done it doesn’t understand the level of dedication it takes to stick with it. So I’m really proud of you (and all of the other Finishers).

    I’ll add the 30 to your profile, then give you the Trophy! Good going! Be sure to join us for the celebration webinar on July 6th!

  3. Thanks so much for your support and for hosting this wonderful blog! Even though I didn’t get to participate as much as I’d like (twitter wise) I enjoyed this immensely and have made lasting contacts!

    You are the best!

    You have been a foundational member of this Blog Challenge and I so appreciate all you’ve done behind the scenes to make it go as smoothly as it did. Thank YOU! So many people don’t even realize how much you HAVE done!

  5. Jeanette, it’s been fabulous. So many people all committed to blogging and supporting each other – it’s amazing what’s been achieved. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of something so wonderful. I’ve made and deepened some wonderful connections and friendships – priceless!!
    Much love

  6. Hey Jeanette!

    Submitted my 30th post to you today! Hope to see my trophy soon. :-)

    I’ve loved every single day of this event and you’ve done a MASTERFUL job of organizing and managing the challenge!

    Thank You,
    Melanie
    Hugs and more hugs!

    Hi there!

    Wow, finished the 30! Didn’t think I was going to make it, but was cheered on by fellow blog challenge participants to just do it. So…I did it! I can’t say that my last couple articles are quality material, but they are complete and my brain is TAXED! I’m off to a networking event now….

    I had only begun blogging a week before this challenge began, so I am ecstatic to have complete it!

    Thanks for this fantastic opportunity!!

    Hi Jeanette and everyone!
    I completed the challenge with just 29 blogs for my topic. I may add another later this evening but wanted to make sure I met the deadline.
    Thanks everyone for your comments and support and for being such a great bunch.
    I’ve enjoyed this tremendously and learn a lot from the process.
    God bless you all,

    Jeanette,

    All 30 are in and accounted for. Thank you for a wonderful blogging experience, (Husband is thankful too). I was really pushed to produce but things started to fall into place and everything got easier to do. I made some wonderful contacts with others and really learned a lot. I’m ready for your next blogging challenge.

    Thank you so very much for all your time and effort,

    Joyce

  10. C’mon Joe – you can do one more! Everyone encourage Joe. One more post! One more post!

  11. Hi Janette~ All 30 are in! Thanks so much for this challenge!

    Hi Jeanette!

    I just updated my profile to reflect 30 blogs completed. Wow! It feels great. It’s certainly called a challenge for a reason, but so worth the effort. I’e met great people and I’ve learned so much. Not to mention the simple act of keeping a promise to myself is always a great reward.

    Thank you for all your work and dedication to us and this challenge.

    Rooting for you!!! Go Joe, Go!!!

    You ‘ve unleashed a bunch of ‘lunatic’ bloggers! People ‘crazy’ for what we do and for sharing with each other. Thanks for all the tremendous support and cheerleading along the way! From my posts my intention is to create a product.

    Done and dusted, now off to bed! (That means you too!)

    Thanks,
    Donna

    Thank you Jeanette and Connie. It is very difficult on the web to put an apple on the teachers desk. I very much appreciated this challenge and look forward to going into my next “Skinner Box” on your next challenge, whatever it is. You two are very habit forming.

  16. Thanks Jeanette! Not bad–I got to 24 posts/ (25 if you count the short one I did on the first day about the webinar)—Not bad for being out for ~10 days at a retreat without dedicated internet service. So that comes out to 3+ #mini7s. Very glad to participate and to be in this supportive community.

  17. Thank you so much for facilitating the challenge! I can only imagine how much time you dedicated to us and appreciate it so much. Looking forward to continuing to follow this great group of bloggers. Thanks Jeanette!

  18. I started late and I have blogged everyday since I started so I got 25 posts in…. so I quailfy for the mini challenge . I have to say this has been really great as it motivated me to post and write and has certainly helped me to get creative with my writing and sharpen my skills. Thank you for this opportunity!

  19. Great challenge, Jeanette. Thanks. I really appreciated the instructions for pre-scheduling posts. It helped me a number of times to have a daily post. I did not take enough advantage of connecting with fellow bloggers. I actually need instructions for how to do that efficiently.

    Again many thanks to Connie and you for challenging us all to become successful.

  20. Thank you for the challenge. I was able to complete 16 posts before leaving to go to a convention. I am going to add the others, but I am thankful for the ones that I were able to complete.

    I am lost as to how to add the 16 to my profile. Please help and tell me how.

    Thank you.

    Thank you Jeanette to your commitment to making this blog challenge happen. I learned so much from the other bloggers and a lot about my previous unknown strengths when it comes to blogging. All of my 30 blogs are posted. Thanks again.

  22. Hi Jeanette!!

    I want 2 trophies, because I do the challenge in english and spanish at the same time!!

    No, really… I want to thank your and to my fellow challengers who read my blog regularly and for her ideas, specially to Coach Jane Lee who suggest me a form to do AudioBoos in my blog (now registered also in iTunes Store as gjsuap’s audioboos) and who let me be her guest blogger; and for ideas and support to Jeanette Cates, Gwen Tanner, Michelle “SmallBizMuse”, Karen Wilson Wehrle and Robert Plank. Thank you so much!

    Saludos y gracias.
    Gonzalo.

  23. Gonzalo – you did take top prize for the most posts! Some of us had a hard time squeezing in our 30 posts – you did 35 in two languages. So congrats!

    I look forward to seeing you in the next Blog Challenge! It was a pleasure having you as a part of this one.

    Jeanette
