Boost Your Blog in 100 Days Challenge

I admit that I feel rather new to this blogging thing.  In a lot of ways I feel rather clueless.  I want to expand my voice, but who has time to search and scour the internet trying to self teach when I have a million other things to do (and a Kindle full of books to read.)  And frankly, it would be nice to have someone to guide and encourage me as I went.  So I was excited to come across the Boost Your Blog in 100 Days Challenge.  It's the idea of Thaleia at Something 2 Offer.

Why Thaleia choose 100 Days? In her own words she says: "Well, to be honest I am a very, very busy mom of 4 children 11 years and under. I do not have extra time to spend laboring over by blog and Social Media. I want results and habits that can transform the limited time I have into something incredible. Spreading out 10 challenges over 10 days each just sounds better to me. Spending just 10-15 minutes a day versus an hour or two makes more sense to me. Easing into each new challenge should help create a habit a little easier. This will also give you a better understanding of why a particular challenge should be done daily or weekly and how it has helped you."


Quick clarification- anyone with a blog CAN participate. I did seek out an initial 100 bloggers to help promote this series in exchange I am using their blogs to direct people to during the 10 days of Comments Challenge. Hope I have not confused anyone. You may do one or all 10 challenges at your own pace or join in daily.

  1. Hey Tina. Thanks for stopping by my site. Here's the answer to your question of the Linky. Copy what you have on there now (the linky part), then go to HTML mode and paste it. It should show then. Now all you have to do is delete the old code that is showing. I know, I had the same problem but kept working with it til I had it. I don't know why but it had to be done separately.
