There is a saying among writers: to write more, write more. The hardest part of blogging isn’t the tools – it’s what goes on between your ears. Many people start blogs with excitement, but lose courage when facing the blank post page, or chicken out before hitting publish. Here at WordPress.com, we know. And we’re here to help.
Announcing DailyPost.WordPress.com
Starting today, you can go to dailypost.wordpress.com for inspiration, encouragement and advice about blogging. We’ll be posting every day so you can get regular boosts of motivation to blog more often.
The Post Every Day challenge
Daily habits are the best way to make change happen. If you can remember to do something every day, by the end of the year, you’ll have done that thing over 300 times! Simple and amazing.

- Post a Day 2011: Post something to your blog every single day through 2011

And of course, feel free to set your own goal – sign up as if you were doing PostAWeek, just so we can keep tabs on what you’re up to.

One of my 2011’s new year resolutions is to challenge myself in the world of “blogging”. 🙂
Oh what a beautiful challenge! I love it! I will try my hand at his. PostaDay2011! here we go!
أمر جيد .. آمل أن يساعدني بالفعل
thanks for that.
GOSTARIA DE SABER DO NOVO BLOG
I’m the 666’th to comment 😉
great! Thanks
This is so completely bizarre and surreal. I was just logging in to blog about a decision to create a “J a day” for 365 days and this announcement popped up. LOL Okay universe I hear you!
I like it and will sign up for post a day ….. a bit scary so what happens if you DON’T blog that day : )
Ok, I´m giving it a go… I’ve several other practices that I’m looking to integrate into my life, and this feel like particularly nourishing way to meet people on the path of doing that.
Tons of luck and love to everyone taking this on!
Post a week here I come!!
Wow, this is very interesting! I’d like to check it out when I have a blog later or sooner.
Creating one now.
interesting post..like it..thanks for the tips..
This sounds like fun, and seeing my lack of blogging for weeks, Post a Week seems to be the one for me. 🙂
I’lll try a weekly blog. But having been retired for 20 years, I doubt many of my contemporaries will read them.
As member of only an hours standing, I look forward to seeing how this is viewed on Twitter & Facebook.
ok. PostAWeek
Wow – I like your show of LITERAL ENCOURAGEMENT WordPress. GENIUS!
The Post-a-day/ Post-a-week Challenge along with motivational inspiration from dailypost.wordpress.com is an awesome way to help invoke blogging thoughts. I started blogging in 2004 and have seen many associates fall by the way side due to lack of conversation.
I will be sure to pass on “what WORDPRESS is doing” to help the willing blogger with conversational subject matter.

May I try…
May I fail…
Great post! 🙂
i do blog everyday but today i will make 2 posts [hows that]
going for post a week.. 😀
Yep, I’ll give it a go! the challenge is thinking of something that COULD be interesting, taking a photo to complement it and then writing. What a great idea…
Thanks for the motivation.
I am already planning to post most days, but I know that if I am out of town I will be unable because I do not own a laptop yet.
i want to blog more, but I am not sure if my stuff is getting out their, how can I check? I ahve been blogging everyday, narly
maybe I will have to change something!!!!
Yes, I definitely need to blog more. Great resource. Thanks
I’m totally in! I’m integrating this with an art challenge I’m doing now too. It’s great! I would love any and all comments if y’all would like to visit. Thanks!
Brilliant idea! Nevermore will I give in to inertia, ennui or talking ravens! Though you know, forgive me if I do go against my word, which has to be expected for one who keeps forgetting her usernames and passwords! I have made this one extra catchy. There can be no forgetting ‘parsnipfeet’!
Can I post a coupla times a week? Not PostAWeek 2011, not PostADay 2011, but PostACouplaDaysAWeek 2011. Sounds awkward, I know. But it’s working for me…
Blogging everyday is so simple as long as you have the passion to write everyday.
hey dude, very cool, keep up the good work.
i am doing something abit the same but i am doing a lego shot a day, i am starting soon!!!

C’est ma première aventure sur les blogs.J’essayerai pour commencer une fois par semaine.Bonne année meilleurs voeux pour 2011 à tous.
I think over the past few months I’ve posted on average about twice a week, but as I got busier it dropped from about three times a week to once a week and then once every two weeks lately. I’d like to get that back up to twice a week. That might be my goal for 2011.
go ahead , best luck ,
I am signed up for postaweek – I completed 2010 having posted at least once every month, and I’m ready to step it up !!!!
Kisses – KM
PostAWeek it is for me. Posting every day would be punishment…
