Day 5 for 25th WDC Birthday Party
The Task: There are different style blogging groups on WDC. Some are active all year, some host a specific month or just for WDC's birthday and some are on hiatus. Yup, more scavenger hunting, can you find at least five (5). There's more than that, I checked. Write about two of the different groups in your 3-paragraph entry. How do you feel about blogging in general? I am roughly aware there are several blogging groups on WDC so I went exploring. 1.

I love the mission statement here - to promote the writing and efforts of all WDC bloggers. I participated in the more specific 50 State Travel blog this summer and I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot about the different states and made some good blogging friends. So, would that be two different blogging groups? 3.
This one looked to be an active bi-monthly blogging contest. 4.
I blogged for this contest last year during WDC's birthday. It was a lot of fun, but trying to shake things up and try different things this year. 5.
Does this one count? Another blogging contest for WDC's birthday.  6.
This blog city looked massive, but I loved the vibe and the community. The most recent blogging experience I had was with the 50 State Travel Blog. I love to travel and I've been to some of the states but not all of the states so I thought this would be a lot of fun and I'd learn a little bit along the way. I discovered it was A LOT of fun, but it was also a lot of work. It did require that I do a little bit of research for me to put together an informative and fun blog entry. I participated in the Blog Week Birthday Bastion last year and I found it challenging but in a different way. The entries required more of a personal introspection, but I was also challenged with time constraints. I wanted to enter everyday so I worked hard to do. I think that blogging contest taught me what I need to do to manage time if I want to blog on a consistent basis. How do I feel about blogging? Overall, I think if you do it consistently you can build up a "fan" base, which is something I would like to do, but finding the time to blog consistently is a challenge. Blog topics that interest me for sure including travel, every day life challenges, health topics. I find I do better with a prompt. I find I favor smaller entries. Honestly, blogs between 300-500 words are the best for me, but then I can get wordy, too.  Blogging is a great way to challenge myself, but before I commitment to a blogging challenge, I always try to see if I can balance the time commitment. If I can't, I generally don't do it. |
