[Team – 30DBC]

Networking with fellow bloggers is often the most important skill to practice and yet so many bloggers don’t start until late.

During the next 30 days, we want to make it a habit for you that you reach out and forge bonds with other fellow bloggers within our community.

So go ahead and introduce yourself in the comments below and welcome a few of your fellow challengers.

[Lisa Lysen]

Hi Danielle … I’m so not a techy … I was trying to figure out how to reply and wish you well but I found myself on your blog page somehow instead … so I signed up for your emails 🙂 I have no idea what mine will even be about if I get around to sending any someday. lol

[Monica]

Hi Danielle! We are so excited to have you participating in this challenge with us 🙂

[Jessica Mason]

Hi everyone!!! It seems like y’all are just as excited as I am! Even tho my catch phrase seem to be “I don’t know what I’m doing!” I see I’m not the only one though can’t wait to see how we’re gonna do!!

[Lisa Lysen]

Hi and oh yah … you’re not alone, that’s for sure … but if you know as little as I do about this stuff you’re gonna be amazed at how much you can learn here.

[Danielle Baker]

Hi Jessica, you are not the only one! This is all new to me too!!!

[Ava Huan]

Hey everyone! I’m new to this and I don’t know how things would turn out. But I am sure this is going to be a good learning experience for me! Happy to be here 🙂

Hi Brittany! It’s nice to meet you!

[Monica]

Hi Brittany! So good to have you here. If you have any technical problems throughout the course, make sure to write about it in the Technical Help forum 🙂 in the meantime I’m so glad you got here and feel free to share your questions and ideas with our community. We are here to help each other grow 🙂

[Rowena Powell]

Hi all, I am Rowena and l have to reiterate what many of you are saying as l too have no clue what l am doing. It has taken me days just to do day one. We are in lockdown here in NZ for 4 weeks and possibly longer so this is my challenge for lockdown. My friends and l were planning a trip to Europe in a June (not happening now of course) but l had hoped to have a blog about the trip to keep in touch with everyone. I would love to know where everyone is from.

[Monica]

Hi Rowena. Sorry about your Europe trip, you will be able to do it soon, I’m sure. We are so happy to have you in our community! Even if it takes days or weeks, the important thing is to keep learning and doing our best to achieve our goal, we all have different paces 🙂

[Yoshitaka Koishikawa]

Hi my name is Yoshi! First time here but hope to learn a lot, share blogs with each other and grow in this community! Nice to meet y’all!

[Monica]

Hi Yoshi! So good to have you here 🙂 feel free to turn to our little community in case you have any questions or want to exchange ideas. We are all here to help each other grow 🙂

[Monica]

Also, remember to block time and complete the setup before proceeding. Even if it’s not perfect, you will be able to improve as you develop your skills throughout the course 🙂

[Phoenix Cooper]

Hi Everyone!

I’m called Phoenix, and I’ve never done this before, but hoping to learn loads! looking forward to getting to know you all! 🙂

Phoe

[Monica]

Hi Phoenix! So many of us are on the same boat as you, with 0 experience with blogging, but we will definitely improve our skills! Just remember to block time and complete the setup. And as for consistency and discipline, we are your accountability partners and we are here to help you keep going!

[Arianna Christians]

Hey guys! I’m Arianna. I’ve been wanting to get serious about blogging, and now I have endless time in quarantine. Guess one good thing came out of it lol

[Monica]

Welcome Arianna 🙂 for sure, this is the best time to invest in ourselves and develop something we are passionate about! Hope all the info on the first day of the challenge was useful. Can’t wait to see what you come up with 🙂

[Erika Ganaway]

Amen to that. I am trying to stay consistent. Opportunities knocking at the door when we sit down to know that it is knocking. Quiet moments to hear the knock and be able to open the door and let the new journey come in.

[Chrystal Higgins]

Oh my hell, right?!?!?!?! Glad this gives us all a chance to focus on ourselves for once and catch up on our passions and realign with our dreams and purpose.

[Hiba Dhib]

Hi iam Hiba!

Nice to meet you all 🙂

[Monica]

Hi Hiba! Nice to meet you too 🙂 Hope you enjoyed day 1 of our amazing challenge. Consistency is keep so I hope to see you and your project around. Good luck!

[Erika Ganaway]

Hello, My name is Erika and I am very excited about learning how to blog and creating my very own website. It is nice to meet you all.

[Monica]

Hi Erika! We are so excited to have you in our challenge. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. As you know by now, blogging is a lot of creativity but it is mostly hard work and consistency! Don’t forget to practice the things you learned in the first day of the challenge: block time and complete the setup. And also, don’t forget to keep on sharing your journey with us through the forums, we are here to help you 🙂

[Karen Scofield]

Nice to meet you Erika. 🙂

[Nohea March]

Hello! Brand new! Been wanting to start a blog a million times. Attempted at least 5 times before. Never really followed through. But hey, I have another 30 days now with this quarantine. So I am going to make it happen! I look forward to getting to know some of you!

[Monica]

Hi Nohea! Welcome on board. Ah I know exactly what you mean, I also started a few times and never followed through. But this time you have all the right tools to keep on doing it. We are here to motivate and encourage your journey so, every time you lack motivation to keep going, come to our forums and get inspired 🙂

[Linda Ray]

I’m excited about this new journey. I recently retired from teaching and have shifted my focus from teaching others to write to trying to make myself write on a regular basis. I am very interested in what everyone has in mind for his or her blog. I am creating a farm and family lifestyle blog. At least that’s the goal. I have tried for years to master WordPress. I hope I finally get it down.

[Monica]

Hi Linda! Wow what a lovely journey, from teaching to now sharing your knowledge and interests in your blog. We are so excited to see what you come up with!

[Carmen Ritchie]

Hey everyone! I’m excited to be joining this group! I feel a little clueless about everything so far but I’m hoping I can figure things out alongside all of you 🙂

Hi Carmen. Welcome! We are so excited to have you here. You have all the tools and support you need to succeed 🙂

[Kiara Smith]

[Karen Scofield]

Hello friends. Happy and excited to go on this journey with you all. Anyone else blogging about health and wellness, spirituality, or traveling?

Looking forward to connecting with all of you.

[Carmen Ritchie]

Hi Karen! Welcome 🙂

You basically described the things I’m aiming for with my blog, although we’ll see what it turns into in the end lol. I’m excited to see what you share!

[Monica]

Welcome Karen! We have a big community here so there are a few blogs from that same niche. I hope you guys help each other out 🙂

[Chrystal Higgins]

I’m half there! I’m blogging about spirituality, mindfulness, and creativity… with a few other things up my sleeves for the near future heeheehee. I love your site (and blogs) by the way!

[Ondra Dismukes]

Hi, my name is Ondra Dismukes and I am both excited and a little nervous about this 30-day blog challenge. I am learning to embrace change. I want to develop a blog about the beauty and complexity of language. Nice to “meet” you!

[Monica]

Hi Ondra! Welcome to our challenge, we are so happy to have you here 🙂 You will have all the tools and skills to do so in no time! And that is such a cool niche, can’t wait to see what you come up with 🙂

[Shelly Stone]

I am also a member of the “Haven’t Got a Clue” Club! It’s nice to be part of the Challenge. I’m glad to be here with all of you.

[Monica]

Hi Shelly! So many of us were on that same boat. And now a lot of them are thriving! Make sure you keep being consistent and trying, that is all that matters. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

[Stephanie Wilding]

Hi,

I’m Stephanie. Just getting started and very excited about the 30-day challenge – hope it helps me get started off on the right foot.

[Monica]

Hi Stephanie! We are so excited to have you here in our challenge 🙂 Can’t wait to see your project!

[Marcia Mongeau]

Hello Everyone. I am Marcia Mongeau. I am retired from one career, and for the last year started my own wine, spirits and tours business. I am brand new to blogging and have so much to learn. Its wonderful to meet you all.

[Monica]

Welcome Marcia! That is such an interesting journey, wow 🙂 Can’t wait to see what project you develop with our blogging challenge!

[Ahlam Sakout]

Hello,

I feel the same way, I have no clue but I am thankful to this program that will help us.

[Monica]

Hi Ahlam! Welcome 🙂 We are so happy to have you were. We all feel clueless before we start developing our skills but, I assure you, you will get there 🙂

[Chrystal Higgins]

Hey awesome bloggers! You all are doing fantastic!

I am Chrystal and have been writing random things for years and this year I’ve decided to kick it up a notch and do it for real and make $$ as a bonus (it doesn’t hurt, right?). The past month I’ve been working on my own website (over on a different site) and published two blog posts onto it the I magically found this 30-day blog challenge thingy-ma-jig when I was researching ‘how to make money blogging’. So viola! I’m here. I’ve been transitioning my two blogs over to WordPress and I’m very happy to be here and learning all this stuff.

I have a little bit of experience with web design and such from going to school for Graphic Design about five years back. However, I’m excited to learn and to put my skills to the test and figure this all out! It’s all worth it in the end after all.

And I can’t wait to get to know you, fellow bloggers, a little bit more in the meantime!

[Monica]

What an interesting journey, Chrystal! Love that you took the chance to join our challenge, even after having started somewhere else. Can’t wait to see your projects and how you will develop them 🙂

[Jordan DeSwarte]

Hello Chrystal! Welcome 😀

I’m curious, what type of blog do you currently have?

[G Kay]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a single mom of 6 and I love getting creative with them. The name of my blog is puttingpentopaper.com. I have always had a knack for writing and I am looking to share my thoughts, ideas, and experiences with you.

[Monica]

Hi G! Welcome to our challenge 🙂 Wow, you are a superwoman! If you have the time to come here and do our challenge, there are no excuses for anyone! I’m so excited to see what you come up with 🙂

[Ryan Snellenberger]

Hello everyone, Im Ryan, had a rough start with this 30 day challenge, but im going to keep making progress daily, and even though ive encounterd a few setbacks right from the start, ive had a lot of support straighting things out to get on track. Edison refined the light bulb and it took him 10,000 tries to perfect, so i feel im in good company. Follow your Dreams, “do what you love and love what you do”

Hi Rebecca! Welcome 🙂 Aren’t we all a little lost? You are here to learn, embrace the unknown 🙂

[Samantha Bielinski]

Hey everybody,

My name is Sam, and I’ve never blogged before. Anyone who knows me personally will tell you that I’ve always got a lot to say, which is why I wanted to start blogging and helping other people in my community out. I’m not sure what the future holds and I’m not exactly tech savvy, but I guess I’ll just have to learn along the way.

Open to chat anytime!

Thanks,

Sam

[Monica]

Hi Sam! Welcome to our challenge. We are so happy to have you here 🙂 Can’t wait to see all your thoughts and words in a blog. Good luck 🙂

[Shaan Sarkar]

Hello everyone, Shaan speaking, the latecomer lol. This is my first time ever creating a blog. Hope everything works out. I will be introducing ways to create positivity by going around your mind connecting dream and reality to become more optimistic and simply make the world a better place.

[Monica]

Welcome to our challenge, Shaan! We all need positivity right now so I’m sure your blog will be in high demand! Can’t wait to read it 🙂

[Isabelle Colantonio]

Hi Shaan, That’s an awesome idea! I can’t wait to read your blog. Positivity is what we all need

[Joy Jakuboski]

Hi everyone. Hope you are all doing well. I’m anxious to get learning!

[Monica]

Hi Joy! Welcome :)We are so excited to have you here.

[Adi Ferrara]

Hi I’m Dee. Totally new to “professional” blogging — I had a couple of blogs that went nowhere fast — looking forward to learning and having fun!

[Monica]

Hi Dee! Welcome to our challenge 🙂 A lot of us where on that same boat but here you have all the tools and the community to thrive 🙂

[Isabelle Ramirez]

I’m glad to see that the most of us seem to be in the same boat of just trying to figure it all out!

[Monica]

For sure, Isabelle. It gets easier, I promise 🙂

[Moeryae Smith]

Hellooooo, friends! My name is Moeryae Sunshine and I am a little late to the game (day 1 for mwah), but very excited anyways! This 30dayblogchallenge will help me stay accountable to the creation of my blog, and thus, my new business. Would love some accountability buddies and I can’t wait to share what we all have when we get there! Good luck, guys! Can’t wait to see your beautiful creations!

[Monica]

Hi Moeryae! Welcome 🙂 There are such interesting projects around here, can’t wait to see what you develop 🙂

[Isabelle Colantonio]

Hi! Hope everyone is safe and well. I’m new to all this, even If I already have a free blog. I’m on a roller coaster right now, with high (Yes, I’m capable of creating this) and down (I don’t understand this at all…) Am I the only one?

[Monica]

Hi Isabelle! No, not at all, I think everyone kind of experiences those highs and lows all the time! Just focus on the highs, keep showing up for yourself and you will thrive 🙂

[Julie Christiansen]

Hi! It’s very nice to meet all of you. I got off to a somewhat rocky start, but now things would seem to run smoothly. I am very excited to learn the ins and outs of blogging.

[Monica]

Hi Julie! We are so happy to have you here 🙂 If you ever need anything, feel free to message me 🙂

[Sarah Tindall]

Hi Everyone!

Looking forward to getting my blog up and running, and very thankful to have someone guiding me through it! I’ve been thinking about doing this for so long, I’m actually really nervous about finally starting!

Sarah 🙂

[Monica]

Hi Sarah 🙂 Welcome to our challenge! We are super excited to see your project grow 🙂

[Jessica Croft]

Hi, I’m Jessica Croft. My blog is PrismaticJess.com. I started my blog for two reasons.

The first is that I have always had a knack for English, grammar, and punctuation, but I only recently found the courage to pursue writing. The second is that I am always getting asked for tips and advice on multiple topics, and I decided it was time to share it. A blog seemed like the best of both worlds. I have started setting up my site and writing a few posts, but I am still in the beginning stages. My site is currently set to private mode. I am excited to work through this course and get ready to launch my site live!

.

[Monica]

Hi Jessica! Welcome 🙂 That is awesome, you seem to be full on Blogger material 😀 Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

[Alejandro P. Montero]

Jessica, cool for you to be on board! I like that you are decided on the direction of your blog. Few people commit, a lot stay on the fence, shittiest place to be, not very comfortable to say the least, sitting on a frost fence not deciding whether to jump on the left or on the right!

[Alexis King]

Hey there fellow bloggers! I am so excited to start this long time desire of blogging about my traveling tips and tricks. I look forward to getting to see what kind of awesomeness we all create!

[Monica]

Hi Alexis! Welcome to our challenge 🙂 We are so happy to have you here.

[Kyle Pong]

Hi! I’m Kyle 🙂 I’m really excited to finally start a blog!! Can’t wait to see where this takes me.

[Monica]

Hi Kyle! Welcome to our challenge 😀 Can’t wait to see your blog!

[Helen Fahler]

Hello fellow 30DBC-ers! I am Helen and I am looking forward to launching my blog after learning all I can in the next month!

[Monica]

Hi Helen! Welcome 😀 We are so happy to have you here. Feel free to share with us your posts and your journey!

[Binky Theodore]

Hi Helen,

I’m Binky. I’m starting 30DBC with you! Nice to meet you! Good luck! I hope you stay with it!

[Cathryn Unverricht]

Glad to see another latecomer to the challenge! Most others seem to have started in March!

[Binky Theodore]

Hello! I’m Binky. I’m excited and a little overwhelmed to begin a blog! It’s been on my heart for a few years, and now with COVID-19 time off, I have the opportunity to jump in! I hope you’re all doing well!

[Monica]

Hi Binky! Welcome 😀 We are so excited to have you here.

[Cathryn Unverricht]

Hi, Cathryn from Canada here! I’ve always wanted to start a blog but never knew what to write about. With quarantine I’ve been bouncing a few ideas around in my head and I hope I can turn one of them into something successful! Originally wanted to do a travel blog, but I guess I’ll have to figure something else out for now!

[Monica]

Hi Cathryn! Usually our first instinct for the niche is the right one! If travelling is your passion, it would totally work, even if we aren’t able to travel at this moment. Just focus on previous trips or offer tips. There are so many topics you can approach without actually travelling anywhere.

[Emily Thomas]

Hi Cathryn! I’m in the same boat, I have always loved the idea of running a travel blog but never thought I would be able to do it. But with all this time in quarantine, here I am! I can’t wait to see your blog, hopefully you can start gaining new travel experiences for your blog soon!

[Alejandro P. Montero]

Hi Cathryn from the vastness of Canada! What part are you from? I’ve crossed Canada 6 times back and forth (East to West, but not South to North). I’m in Quebec City, for the next 9 weeks that is, ’cause I’m moving to the Netherlands on July 13th!
My blog is set on resilient homes for northern climates: places to thrive in instead of rot in should we be forced to quarantine again.

Cheers!

[Tammy Collie]

Hi, I’m Tammy and I have just started the course. Still feeling apprehensive about the whole thing, but I’m hoping it will be exactly what I was looking for.

[Monica]

Hi Tammy 🙂 Welcome to our challenge! I totally understand, it can feel a little overwhelming at first. Just keep showing up and joining us for the challenge and I promise you will notice such a big improvement 🙂

[Alejandro P. Montero]

I came in here because I know shit and this is all about doing. We learn best by doing! Tammy, this is going to kick ass!

[Emily Thomas]

Hey everyone, I just joined this challenge and am so excited to get started! I can’t wait to start developing my blog and learn more from the rest of you!

[Monica]

Hey Emily, welcome 🙂 I’m also so excited you are here! Can’t wait to see your blog 🙂

[Darrell Mitchell]

bhvnmbnmbmn

[Darrell Mitchell]

Sorry about the gibberish earlier. It was a test. My laptop is a piece lol. Well anyway my name is Darrell but please call me Wayfarer. I’m not exactly new to blogging although I am new to doing it professionally. I’m primarily a story writer/poet/ aspiring novelist and I see blogging as a way to get traction and readers. To be honest I’m a bit worried but, that means I’m going the right way doesn’t it? I haven’t even put up my first post yet. That old college perfectionism keeps popping up. My inner critic. I’m working on him. Mainly making him be quiet so I can get to my real work. <br clear=”all”>

[Monica]

Hi Wayfarer! I already replied to your Fears thread and I called you Darrell, sorry about that 😀 That is your first don’t, right there! Perfectionism. We as artists tend to try to achieve perfection. “I will only launch my website when it is perfect” “I will only post this when it’s perfect” and that’s what we are doing wrong. No one expects us to be perfect from the beginning and our quest for perfection is usually holding us back big time. Try and leave perfectionism behind, just try and keep your project moving and evolving 🙂

[Alejandro P. Montero]

Yep. Move forward fearlessly and course correct on the way.
This attitude is so ANTI what I have learned. So I will kill that guy during these next 30 days. I have already published my page and posted my first blog and am looking forward to sharing it in the market place out there, “dreading” comments and trolls…

[Racquel Kiezebrink]

I can’t wait to start! This is day one for me, and I am so excited to explore this community further:)

[Monica]

Hi Racquel! We are so excited to have you here! 🙂

[Alejandro P. Montero]

Alright, here we go! Straight up, what attracted me here was the 30 Days of ACTIONABLE step with the DTFW attitude.
That’s why I’m here. I got challenged to own three online companies by July 13th. The Blog will be my corner stone for a longer term project of designing and constructing resilient homes across Europe and North America, particularly focused in the Northeast of the continent.

Looking forward to the training, but especially to the establishing of consistent habits.

Cheers!

APM

[Racquel Kiezebrink]

What an interesting longterm project! Such a cool use for your blog.

[Alejandro P. Montero]

Racquel, do you have Dutch origins by chance? I’m moving there on July 13th!

I imagined the Blog as a marketing “prequel” if you will, a sort of way to pave the way, convert mindsets slowly but surely, respond to objections, answer questions, until I am set to start producing. The next step parallel to the Blog is an eBook: The 7 Pillars of Resilient Homes, which I will be addressing in greater detail,one Blog at a time.

What’s your niche/project angle?

Hi,
I’m Nadine and I just joined the 30 Day Challenge. I have been thinking of growing my online presence for quite some time now and decided I will start with a blog. It will be about studying abroad far away from home and being a student athlete. Maybe also about mindset. I’m excited to see where this leads ! 🙂

Hi Nadine! Welcome to our challenge We are so happy to have you here. Can’t wait to read about your experiences abroad

[Lisa.kinoti]

Hi everyone! Am excited to be here! I have had it on my to-do list for years that I should begin a blog but I never got started. When I saw the 30 day challenge and started a dialogue with Matt, I realized that this is the time for me to do it. I never knew where to begin, so I am happy to have found a group of experienced bloggers who can guide me on this journey. I am very excited to finally share my life experiences with the world and find my niche. I hope I can make some friends here too and learn from all of you. Thank you for having me and all the best to all of us on this exciting journey! – Lisa Kinoti.

[Elizabeth.rodriguez]

• Hey everyone! I’m Liz! I’m a single mom and I have loved writing since I was a small child. Making up stories and “teaching” my friends and family. Anyways I’m going to school for journalism and would love to be able to share some of my experiences that many single mothers face. I want to share so much and I cant wait!

[Monica]

Hi Elizabeth! Welcome to the challenge, we are so excited to have you here! Can’t wait to see your blog 🙂

[Cassandra.carpenter]

Hello Everyone,

I am anxious and excited to get started on this new path. I have just completed day 1, and even have 1 person subscribed to my contact already. That was a surprise! Now time to start day 2. My biggest problem is not trying to move ahead on my own, I did that at first, and got myself all confused. I hope everyone has a great day and a profitable future.

[Monica]

Hi Cassandra! Welcome to the challenge. We are so excited to have you here 🙂 Take your time and be patient with yourself, everyone has different paces. We are always here to help you 🙂

[Alyssa.sorensen]

Hi everyone! I’m new as of today and I’m excited to learn because I have absolutely no idea how to start a blog.

[Monica]

Hi Alyssa! Welcome 🙂 Everyone that starts has no idea how to do it. These next 30 days will change your life 🙂

[Bryanna.forest]

Hi all! My name is Bryanna and I am new to blogging even though I have half-heatedly attempted to start multiple times in the past few years. I finally have a solid vision and can’t wait to get it launched and running! I want to blog about kindness, mental health, and nurturing compassion for others. I am a registered yoga teacher and I really enjoy the feeling of lightness and glowing one can achieve through practice, which can be utilized in everyday life to bring about more peace to oneself and others!

[Monica]

Hi Bryanna, welcome 🙂 Woo, such an interesting niche! The key to actually mastering the whole blogging thing is to just be consistent 🙂 I’m sure discipline and consistency are also key elements of your practice so I’m sure you’ll do a great job 🙂

[Dawn.spence]

Hi Bryanna, well you must be close to the completion of your 30 day challenge, I’ve just commenced so here’s hoping it’s a great as promised. 😉

[Jeshin.chun]

Hi everyone! Excited to get started on this journey with the rest of you. High hopes for it to become something I really come to love!

Hi Jess, welcome 🙂 So excited that you are starting this journey with us 🙂

[Rebecca.obinque]

Hey guys! So I commented a few days ago but I think I did it the wrong way. Ops haha. Anyways I just started and I’m on day 3 of the 30 day blog challenge. I’m very excited to learn and grow with you guys. 🙂

[Monica]

Hi Rebecca! Welcome to the challenge 🙂 We are so excited to have you here.

[Scott.charleboix]

I thought that this was going to be easy because I used Front Page, Microsoft Word, and Dreamweaver nearly 20 years ago. Unfortunately, a lot has changed and I feel overwhelmed by the terminology and trying to remember the difference between Blue Host and WordPress.

[Scott.charleboix]

My name is Scott Charleboix. I’m looking forward to creating a blog site so that I can build up the followers to my Pinterest page and then start making a little extra income for something I already enjoy doing (journaling and Pinterest).

[Monica]

Hi Scott, welcome to the challenge. 🙂 Wow, you seem to have a lot of experience! I understand it can seem overwhelming because everything just changes constantly but I’m sure you’ll be so confident in your skills after the 30 days. Share your pinterest with us so we can take a look 🙂

[Anonymous]

Hi fellow bloggers, I am excited to start this 30 day blogging challenge. I’ve blogged in the past but ended up deleting it because some co-workers teased me about having a makeup blog (I was in banking at the time), I’m now in Marine but hope to blog about wellness and to basically just have a creative outlet for my thoughts. The opinions of others it what holds me back the most so this is a big step.

I am also excited to follow along with your individual journey!

Amy.

[Monica]

Hi Amy! Welcome 🙂 We are so excited to have you here. I’m always so surprised at how jealous people can be, teasing is an actual form of flattery. Great job at trying again and doing something you love even though you had previous bad experiences with people’s opinions. Trust your judgement and write your thoughts, we can’t wait to read them 🙂

[Julian.azolin]

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all safe and well. I’m Julian Davi Azolin and I’m ready for this challenge!

Have a great day and happy blogging.

[Julian]

I think something went wrong somewhere and I ended up with 2 profiles. This one (replying the thread) is the good one.

[Monica]

Hi Julian! Welcome to the challenge 🙂

[Magda.abarca]

Hello everyone my name is Magda I just joined this challenge. Good luck to everyone. Have confidence in yourself I know we can all make it 🙂

Hello Magda, I am hoping for success for all of us and look forward to reading posts. Especially right now when just getting out with people is not happening.

[Mackenzie.frey]

Hi everyone! Just wanted to say hello and hope you all are enjoying your journey to creating your blogs!

[Monica]

Hi Mackenzie, welcome! 🙂

[Dawn.spence]

Hi Mackenzie, I’m just saying hello as part of my Day 1 challenge. Hope your journey is fun and you are enjoying it.

[Betty.cheek]

I am right there with you. I have had a blog for about a year with no direction but my own. I am hoping this challenge gives me roots to build a strong foundation, to make this a success.

[Monica]

Hi Betty! Welcome 🙂 So many of us have been there, tried blogging so many times. The key is consistency, that is why doing this challenge is so effective, even if you don’t feel like doing it, you know you are missing a lesson! It’s so good 🙂

[Saebyl.mcdoulett]

Hi Everyone! Nice to be a part of this community!

I started a blog technically in February. It was initiated as a blog to learn and discover what the music industry has to offer. But due to the pandemic, I ran out of opportunities to execute the mission statement so to speak. So now, I’m trying to rediscover the focus for my blog. Plus, I was brand new back in February so I have a lot to learn!

So excited to be here!

[Monica]

Hi Saebyl! Welcome to the challenge 🙂 We are so excited to have you here. I hope you achieve and learn everything you want about blogging, it can be daunting when we are doing it by ourselves but you can count on us for everything 🙂

[Leonard.lewandowski]

Saebly,

I LOVE me some music and the industry fascinates me…..can’t wait to read your blog…..Len

[Anonymous]

Hi, everyone! I’m new to blogging, but have written a couple of guest posts in the past – so I guess I sort of get the idea 🙂

I’m really looking forward to this course to get my own idea – Make Work Suck Less – off the ground. I got into the field of human resources more than a decade ago with the intention of helping organizations create a great employee experience, only to learn that there is a lot about “work” that just sucks (Happy Hours and TGIF wouldn’t exist if it didn’t) and you can’t rely on a business to make you happy. But there are ways that we can maximize our own happiness at work, so I hope to share that information and help people create more positive work experiences and have a little fun doing so.

[Saebyl.mcdoulett]

I’m so excited to read some of your posts! I’d love to hear from the perspective of an HR professional.

[Monica]

Wow Jason, this is such an interesting concept! HR is such a complex science, can’t wait to learn more about it. Welcome to the challenge! 🙂

[Leonard.lewandowski]

Jason,

Welcome……count me in as one of your first subscribers…Len

[Cheryl]

Great idea. Look forward to reading some of your posts. I am not in the workplace anymore but I still remember what it was like!

[Leonard.lewandowski]

Newest member (about 30 minutes old)…….beyond excited to finally do a Blog the right way. My Blog will be called “Retired and Grumpy”……..equally excited to both learn and share from all of you……Len

[Cheryl]

Hi Len, I too am just starting. Look forward to reading your blog.

[Monica]

Hi Len! Wow, love the title of the blog 🙂 so quirky and fun. Can’t wait to see what you come up with 🙂

[Cheryl]

Well, I hope I am doing this write. So far this has been very interesting. I am totally new to blogging but am looking forward to learning.

[Monica]

Hi Cheryl! Welcome to the challenge. We are so excited to have you here 🙂

[Dawn.spence]

Hi Cheryl, trust me when I say that I am getting quite a few steps wrong before they get right! Together we can succeed.

[Donielle.showvay]

Hi Cheryl!

I’m very new to blogging as well. Glad to be in here learning together with you!

[Bryan.siercks]

Well I have been dilly dallying around with this for more than a year. I had a site back in the late 90’s but it was to promote for my own hobby back then, I had thoughts of doing great things with it but I never followed through. Here I am again some 15 years later with a whole different approach. Here we go!

[Dawn.spence]

Hi Bryan, “here we go again” resonates with me but in many different ways, but I wish you eery success this time round.

[Monica]

Hi Bryan! Welcome to the challenge 🙂 Wow, I’m so glad you are taking this step and investing in yourself. Consistency is the key, it is really the one thing that makes the difference 🙂

[Dawn.spence]

Hi everyone. I feel that I get most of this wrong seven times before I finally hit the correct key! Let’s hope I can connect better than I can post messages!!

Looking forward to making a few connections.

I’m based here in New Zealand, but lived and worked in various parts of the world.

So Hello!

[Monica]

Hi Dawn! Welcome to the challenge 🙂 It’s normal to make a few mistakes at first but you’ll master our platform in no time 🙂

[Donielle.showvay]

Hello all!

I’ve tinkered around with blogging here and there, but always on WordPress.com instead of .org, so this type of “real” blogging is very new to me. Hoping to make a good go of it and have some supplemental income at least from it!

My blog will focus on helping parents connect with their children through the practical skill and timeless art of knitting. I’ve got a very shaky start and some serious rewriting to do to make my message clear, but am excited to get going on it!

Happy to meet everyone and blessings in your own journeys!
