Blog every day in May: a challenge
I saw this challenge over at "Oozing out my ears" And it sounds like a lot of fun! Sooo I'm joing in for the MAy Challenge!
That's what this little challenge is all about. "Story of My Life" is challenging you and her both to blog every single day in the month of May, and She has even come up with post topics for us. Isn't she nice? If you're anything like me, just figuring out what the crap to blog about is the hardest part. So. Join in on the fun!
Here are the rules:
1. There really aren't any rules. If you miss a
day, you can make it up or skip it. The blog police will not come
knocking.
2. She will be including a linkup option at the
bottom of my post each day, so you are welcome to leave your links there for
others to peruse, as well.
3. You can still post other things every day,
too. She plans to do normal outfit posts, life posts, around-Austin posts, and
sponsor posts just like usual.
4. She would seriously love you if you also include
the "blog every day in May" button (below) either on your sidebar or at the end
of your posts, but again, the blog police will not come knocking. Her main goal
here is to get us all back to the basics of blogging, not to gain a million new
readers (though I wouldn't mind that).
5. Here are the topics. You can be as creative
and awesome or as boring and bland as you like with these. Take 'em and run with
it. Use creative post titles. Interpret each "prompt" however you like. There's
no wrong way to do it. Have fun.
Day 1, Wednesday: The story of your life in 250 words or less (or one paragraph... no one will be counting your words... probably)
Day 2, Thursday: Educate us on something you know alot about or are good at. Take any approach you'd like (serious and educational or funny and sarcastic)

Day 4, Saturday: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it
Day 5, Sunday: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don't have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member

Day 24, Friday: Your top 3 worst traits
