Neighborhood writer and fellow gamer Belghast is sponsoring an event this year that he’s named Blaugust. This is a great opportunity for all bloggers, but especially Newbie Bloggers, to engage with the community once more before the Summer is up. In Bel’s words:
The idea is rather simple. During the month of August I challenge you my blogging peers to take up the mantle of daily posts. To win the contest, you must post one new entry each day. Now personally I tend to view staged posts that are written in batch as cheating, to make things easier on the varied schedules this is totally fair game. There are several of you out there that already post regularly… and that is awesome. I totally hope each and every one of you will enter into the challenge, but what I am hoping even more is to spur the folks who post maybe once a week into producing content more regularly. The media has said that blogging is dead… and I want us to prove to the world that it is very much alive and breathing. Additionally my intent is to try and advertise as many of the daily bloggers as I can through my own blog and social media outlets.
But there’s actually a lot more to it. Head over to Aggronaut and learn more about it for yourself. I know I’ll be participating, even if I fail! So get your keyboards ready for Blaugust! I know some of you have been promising to get back to writing more all Summer so here’s a great opportunity.
