A-Z Challenge - 2018
It's April, and that means that it's time for this years A-Z Challenge.
This is the third year that I have participated in the challenge. Check out all the past A-Z posts on a special page that I have set up.
What is the A-Z Blogging Challenge
The A-Z Blogging Challenge is to have bloggers post something related to the letter of the day. Most bloggers don't post every day so this can hard to balance life and quality blog posts.
In addition, it can be tricky to come up with topics for certain letters - q, x, y, and z.
Topics This Year
Here is the weekly topic schedule:
Monday | -QA Monday | Practical Tips/Information with Quality Assurance Testing. |
Tuesday | -Evernote | Tips and Tricks with the popular Evernote productivity tool |
Wednesday | -Aruba | We'll be vacationing in Aruba soon, thought it would be good to learn about the country before our trip. |
Thursday | -Boston | Learn some detail information about sites in Boston, Massachusetts. |
Friday | -Macintosh | Various tips and tricks that I have learned related to Macintosh Hardware or Software. |
Saturday | -Internet Tools | Profile of some useful Internet tools to make your job easier. |
Weekends | -Anything Goes | Open topic! I usually find something interesting to post. |
My Personal Challenge
Here's what I am committed to delivering this month:
- Orginal Content - Most of the content is already exclusive to this site. I will continue to seek to have orginal content and also focus on finding challenging topics that people have written about.
- On Time Delivery - All post should be live by 3pm EST.
- Creative Graphics - Come up with some cool graphics that engages people into the topic.
I already have much of the month content mapped out - something different that I haven't done in the past.
Getting Topic Ideas by Letters
Some of the resources where I got topic ideas:
- Boston Public Library - great books on whats going on in Boston.
- Tumblr Search - Easy to search for topics.
- Twitter Posts - people asking questions
- Google Autocomplete - Type in a topic in the search bar and a letter to find interesting ideas.
- Personal Collection - lots of ideas that I gathered over the year.
