November is “National Blog Posting Month.”
Taking their inspiration from National Novel Writing Month (“NaNoWriMo”), which challenges its members to write a complete novel in a month, a group of bloggers has issued the “NaBloPoMo” challenge – for bloggers to post at least once every day during the entire month of November. There is a social website dedicated to the site, providing inspiration and promotion opportunities for members’ blogs. Visit the site (http://www.nablopomo.com/) for more information.
This columnist has decided to rise to the challenge, despite technically missing November 1 due to only learning of the challenge on November 2. Will other genealogy blogs accept the challenge?
In the spirit of the month, the African American Genealogy Examiner also invites you to vote for your favorite blogs at Family Tree Magazine. Voting remains open until Thursday, November 5, 2009.
