Okay, so given a comment from Sara on my blog (http://quirkyjessi.blogspot.com) about not having heard of this, I figured some of you around here may not know about it either. NaBloPoMo is a blogging event where people sign up to blog every day for 30 days.
It was a huge hit last year and everyone had a lot of fun.I didn't hear about it until it was too late to participate, but met a ton of new people/blogs through a randomizer that was put together (it'll be back this year). So far, there are over a 1000 people signed up, so it's crazy! She has it set up on Ning this time around, so the format is a bit different, with groups that can be joined and forums that can be used....but the whole point is to just blog for 30 days straight, and the rest can be forgotten about completely.
Also, there are some donated prizes that get handed out. You're also welcome to donate your own stuff to be passed out to some lucky winners who succeed.
And if you've blown this post off so far, note how much traffic this can bring to your blog. Not only are your links in various places, but people will be going through the blogs, looking at them, and randomly stumbling across you through the randomizer. There are side challenges going on where people are vowing to make so many comments per day, etc, too, so you can benefit from that. Plus, it's fun!
