I Challenge Myself

Source: http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/blog/2011/08/why-i-blog.html
For a while I have been thinking about blogging more often. Chris Brogan, one of the top influencers in social media according to Forbes, gave me a bit of a kick from behind with this recent post: A Primer for Blogging. Given that I can check off the first two points in his list I really don't have much of an excuse for not moving on point three which is: Get writing.

My partner is providing a little inspiration as well as she has recently challenged herself to write a blog post every day for a year. Check out her Green Bits blog here. The challenge I'm giving myself is to write a blog post every day for the next month. I have saved up well over a hundred ideas I can blog about and with yesterday being my first day in a new job as Director of Housing at the University of Waterloo I have a fair amount of material to work with. I encourage you to read along and share your questions and comments on my ideas. Perhaps I'll inspire someone to blog too.

  1. Well if you have over 100 ideas stockpiled, you should easily be able to post something for 30 days. I'm lucky if I have one idea a week and I continue to post about 2-3 times a week. But then perhaps I break a couple of the rules in Chris Brogan's list.

  2. My ideas mostly come from articles I read or conference/workshops I attend. I save the material of interest and could turn into blog posts.
