NaBloPoMo

November 10, 2010

Well, we missed National Spinach-Lovers’ Month, National Toilet Tank Repair Month, and National Sun Dried Tomato Month in October. We’re a little late starting for November, but I found one I think most people can relate to; the NaBloPoMo. or National Blog Posting Month.

Right away, I liked their site. The theme for November is there is no theme for November, and my favorite frequently asked question on the site is “Why is it called National Blog Posting Month if it happens every month?”

Answer:  "The whole thing started off as a spoof based on National Novel Writing Month, the challenge of which is to try to write an entire novel during the month November. Not everyone can commit to an endeavor of such magnitude though, and so National Blog Posting Month was born. However, after doing a November NaBlo for a couple of years in a row, it seemed that a lot of people had found their momentum and wanted to keep going into December and beyond. So now, NaBloPoMo is something you can drop into any month of the year, though November is still the biggest month, and is the only month when members donate prizes that are then given out randomly to other members who posted every day in November."

So if you read or write blogs bookmark this site celebrate blogging in November!
