The April A to Z Blogging Challenge was started last year by Arlee Bird at Tossing It Out (http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/). It begins on Friday, April 1st, by blogging a letter of the alphabet every day with Sundays off. That's 26 days, A to Z.
While the challenge itself encourages bloggers to get into the habit of blogging regularly and writing shorter, sweeter blog posts, the best part is that it encourages everyone to check out particpating blogs, comment, make new friends, and build new blogging relationships. It's sort of like a month long block party but without that one obnoxious neighbor who wants to tell you about the brilliant novel idea he has that you should totally write for him because it is going to be bigger than that one book with the wizard kid in the dumb glasses.
Meeting new bloggers is my very favorite part about being a blogger, so this challenge is perfect! It is a fantastic way to really gain some new followers and start establishing yourself with readers.
