You read that right. The Daily Post at WordPress.com launched two campaigns for bloggers. The first, to post every single day through 2011. I thought about taking on this challenge…
Then came to my senses. That's probably why The Daily Post launched their second campaign, to blog at least once a week through 2011. Honestly, I don't see me posting every single day through 2011 and I already post once a week. I'm going for somewhere in the middle, but I am participating in the once-a-week campaign, officially.

I would post more, but there are always three things that hold me back from clicking on the Publish button:
- I worry about how silly a post might seem to others.
- I worry about how something I've written might offend some of my readers.
- I worry about how long my posts are and if I have the right picture to go along with the post.
I'm done worrying!
- I'm not going to worry about how silly a post might seem to others.
- I'm not going to think about how it might offend some of my readers.
- I'm not even going to worry about how long my post is or if I have the right picture to go along with the post.
I'm just going to post. I might actually get something out of all this blogging.
Who knows? You might too! If you already read my blog, I hope you'll encourage and support me with comments (good and bad) along the way.
Thank you – I have precisely the same problem, and chances are your advice works for me, too.
Happy posting! :)
Thanks! From reading all the comments, we’re not alone.
I just heard about the WordPress campaigns and I think it’s a great idea. I’d love to post once a week, and two times would be awesome! I have a few drafts that I never posted…I’ll try to avoid that this year as well as make posts more consistent! Good luck with keeping up your blog! :)
I’m determined to get rid of all the drafts sitting there and try not to have more than four sitting there at a time. :)
Great! Thank you for the tips! Sometimes I also worry a lot about those a lot. But now I know people do worry about them too, kinda make me want to overcome it too :)
Good luck to you! :)
Awesome! We can do this. :)
I’ve signed up to the Dailypost campaign. Although started a little late I’m finding it a fab way to read new and interesting blogs, so good times. Good luck
