Many of us writers need a kick up the rear in order to find a reason to publish articles on our blogs more frequently, and this week I signed up for The Blogging From A To Z April Challenge, which if I complete the task should result in 26 new articles being published throughout the month of April, one for each letter of the alphabet.
I think that this is a great idea, and with hundreds of other writers having signed up for the challenge already, it’s a great way to not only write more, but to make more friends along the way.
The more blogs that we cross link to, especially well favored blogs that have lots of traffic, the better this is for all of us. It’s not just about the initial traffic from extra articles, it’s the blog ranking that should increase through having more fans, and as a result maybe Google will look down on us favorably as well, and rank us higher. That means more traffic as time goes on.
So if you are up for a challenge in April, use the link at the top of this article to sign up for the challenge, and join me there.
Don’t forget that you can write about other articles that you have published, or if you are a lensmaster on Squidoo, you can write about your lenses.
If finding the time every day to write sounds hard, don’t forget that in Blogger and WordPress you can write articles ahead of time and schedule them to be published when you like. It works well, and I have written my first 4 for April already.
Looking forward to seeing you there and to reading lots of great articles.

Glad to see you jumped on board, Tony! I’m still debating on how I’m going to go about mine. I thought about doing some posts ahead and scheduling them, but while I don’t really consider that cheating, I really want to see if I can post every day.
Nice plug, Tony. Thanks for your efforts in promoting the challenge. Glad you’re on board with us. You make some good points here. Everyone who finished last year’s challenge loved it and I think they’ve all returned for another go at it.

Sounds like a great idea Tony, unfortunately I will be travelling in April so I’m going to have to weigh up how much I can get done ahead of time – good luck with your attempt though.
Hi Tony. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I shall see you on April 1st 😉
Okay, I’m going to do this. Thanks for the additional urging Tony, this will be fun!
