The sign-up list opens today – but read first before adding your name!
The A to Z Challenge is posting every day in April except Sundays. And since there are 26 days, that matches the 26 letters of the alphabet. On April 1, blog about something that begins with the letter “A.” April 2 is “B,” April 3 is “C,” and so on. You can use a theme for the month or go random – just as long as it matches the letter of the alphabet for the day. We recommend short posts, turn off Word Verification, and visit five blogs (or more) a day beginning with the one after yours on the list.
This year we are adding categories for those looking for like-minded blogs. Select ONE category code and enter it after your blog’s name. This is purely optional. However, if your blog has adult content, you MUST mark it (AC) or it will be removed from the list. Here are the codes:
1. WRITING : (WR)
2. BOOKS: (BO)
3. FILM : (FM)
4. PHOTOGRAPHY: (PH)
5. GARDENING: (GR)
6. CRAFT: (CR)
7. ART: (AR)
8. MUSIC: (MU)
9. CULINARY: (CU)
10. LIFESTYLE: (LI )
11. FASHION: (FA)
12. PERSONAL: (PR)
13. SOCIAL MEDIA: (SO)
14. GAMING: (GA)
15. EDUCATION : (ED)
16. POLITICS: (PO)
17. HISTORY: (HI)
18. SCIENCE: (SC)
19. HUMOR: (HU)
20. TRAVEL: (TR)
21. MISCELLANEOUS: (MI)
22. ADULT CONTENT: (AC)

This is the fourth Challenge. I've only co-hosted once, but last year introduced me to more new blogs than any month since I started blogging! Are you ready to join us in the greatest blogging event ever?
NOTE: Please read the instructions carefully, and follow them, because we won't be able to change your entry once it is added to the list.

I find the Adult Content tag really funny this morning. I don't know why.
Thanks for co-hosting!!!
Can't wait for this one - last year was a BLAST!
There are 10 new signups in the last 5-10 minutes! (Was at 240, now 250.)
Good thinking on the categories. A to Z has gotten too big for only one.
I signed up last night. It's nearly doubled since then. Gonna be a big one again. So glad there are categories this time, but DOH, I forgot to put (WR) after my entry!
Almost three hundred in less than a day - whoa!!!
Thank you so much for this. You've saved me hours of hunting down blogs to follow.
O_O whoa-- stares at all the signees. And now I'm all itchy and stuff (blog hops do that to me anymore--I'm lame).
I was number 300. That's an epic number to have.
I'm waiting before signing up. I want to be number 3000.
Holy cow that's a huge list...
Well, good luck to you guys! 26 posts in one month is way more than I can handle, but I love the ambition behind it.
Thanks so much for hosting this blogfest! We signed up today at #337. This looks like it's going to be HUGE! Congratulations! If you haven't already, please visit our new blog at http://citymusecountrymuse2012.blogspot.com/
I am soooo ready!

Thanks for the reminder. Yours was the first post I saw with the sign-up list this year so I dived in quickly before leaving for work and there were already over 200 people then. Now look at it! First day, too! Should be a good year.
This is going to be a blast - I need to clear my April schedule!

Off to a great start! Thanks Matt.
