Remember when I made that 100 days of 100 words blog challenge? Yeah, that did not turn out so well. But I thought, why not get back on the yo-yo and try a new dietchallenge? This one is called 30 Days to Being a Better Blogger. And since blogging is by nature an iterative process, no one will notice anyway, right?
This latest craze is an initiative started by Steven Dembo, author of the Teach42 blog and Online Community Manager for the Discovery Educator Network. A similar program is going on over at the National Blog Posting Month site (NaBloPoMo).
Steve has a Web badge to go along with the program, but I’ve made one too (above). Using the highway sign motif may be a tad trite, but it is the image that came to mind when I first heard of the 30 Days idea (and I already had the pieces handy). To me, the concept seems as much about distance as about time, like there is some destination up ahead on the Information Super Highway and each day is another mile marker along that road. Let me know what you think, or if you have a better idea.
The support wiki is at 30d2bbb.pbwiki.com. It is a work in progress, and if you would like to contribute, please join in. And keep your readers pointed here if you want to see where this thing goes. With any luck, it won’t end up in the drink again.

Love the image you created! I’m going to use that in the challenge today. Perfect since I’ll be announcing the wiki as well.
Very glad that you’re participating in the challenge, and that you’ve taken on the wiki as well. I really appreciate it! I think it’ll be a great addition to it.

I’m visiting as part of Steve’s challenge - hitting several blogs I’ve never read before and commenting. I love your site (of course, I’ve always had a soft spot for cephalopods, so I’m a bit biased). Good luck with the challenge and keep doing what you’re doing!
