Take part for April 2012 30-Day Blogging Challenge

The 30-Day Blog Challenge returns OFFICIALLY in April 2012. 

 "The blogging challenge is back to life. It's not just the 7-Day Blogging Contest but the more exciting and rewarding 30 Days Blogging Challenge. This contest has been on WDC since 2008. Many were inspired and motivated into the blogging world by it. I am personally the product of this challenge. I came to know a few of our fellow WdC members closely through it. I was able to relate to their experiences, and of course, build friendships." - Earl Pablo Zacarias Jr.-

STEPS TO JOIN

 One must own an existing WDC blog or a journal.
 OPTIONAL - Create a new blog for this challenge.
 Give this  "30-Day Blogging Challenge"  a public review.
 1 or more blog prompts must be private mailed to Thundersbeard  before challenge begins or upon late entry. See "Registration updated & more"   for more details about suitable prompts.
NB: This last rule only applies for OFFICIAL challenges. For UNOFFICIAL challenges, all 30 blog prompts are pre-supplied.

HOW IT WORKS?

 Daily prompts will be private mailed to group members of "Voice Over & More" . Prompts will also be posted in the FORUM.
 One must write a blog entry about the prompt within 24 hours after the prompt is posted.
 When the blog entry is done, a blogger must post the link of his/her blog to the forum. Using {entry: }
 Commenting on fellow challengers blogs is NOT optional.  Blog comments are an integral part of this Blog Challenge. If you NEVER comment on another challengers blog you will end up being disqualified. This doesn't neccessarily mean you have to comment on EVERY challengers' blog entry but you should aim for a 1:1 ratio. 1 blog entry, 1 blog comment per day.

HOW TO QUALIFY FOR THE TOP PRIZES?

I believe that the prizes are just some sort of gravy, it's just an appetizer. The real prize for the winner is the fulfillment that he completes the whole challenge. 

BUT! if you want to win ...

Impressive and prompt blog responses.
In any cases of work related or emergency reasons we allow 5 non-consecutive late entries.
Responses to prompt should be in a separate post. No two prompt answers in a single post.
You MUST comment on other challengers blog entries!
