Sign up using the linky list at the end of this post!
A bit daunted by the concept? Fear not, you don't have to visit everyone, and it's easy to schedule several short posts ahead of time. We want to keep our posts short anyway, because the main point of the challenge is to meet new bloggers. In fact, this year, we're suggesting that all you commit to is visiting the 5-10 blogs below your name on the linky list. If you find you have time for that every day, then you can start to visit more.
No idea what I'm talking about? No worries, you can find the official A to Z blog, here. Or the A to Z Facebook page, here. If you somehow have lived in a hole for the least few months, you can meet all my other co-hosts, here.
And you don't have to sign up right now, either. If you want to mull it over for a while, no problem. On Wednesday (because this list is going to grow FAST, and slow down my blog load times) I'll be moving the list to a page right under the header of my blog. You can find it, here. Or, you can sign up at the official blog, anytime, here.
Please enter the HTML code carefully so that it is accurate. If you enter your link incorrectly, please notify us so we can correct it. You can find our emails in the CONTACT US tab on the A to Z Blog. If you do not plan to participate in the Challenge during April or your purpose is to lure visitors to an advertising site, please do not enter a link as it will be removed, save us the time and trouble.
That's it! Here's the list:
UPDATE: I have removed the A to Z sign up list, to improve load times for my new posts. Please visit the A to Z sign up page, to join the challenge.
Short? Me? haha hmmm that be harder than posting everyday..haha
ReplyDeleteYeah, Pat. How will you keep it short? Lol I'm signed up and ready. Yeah!
ReplyDeleteWhoa--that IS a long list already! There's no way I could commit to the A to Z challenge, but I'll certainly go visit folks who do. Happy Monday, Matt!
ReplyDeleteEveryone place your bets now - how many will we have by the end of the day?
ReplyDelete250 before the end of the day. I'm totally guessing here:)
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted to be doing A to Z again this year. Thank you for co-hosting.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I don't remember it from last year. But I'll be enjoying all of your posts. I don't think I can do it. Maybe I'll change my mind after I see all you wonder people do it.
ReplyDeleteLoved A-Z last year.
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I already signed up. Weird. Signing now....
ReplyDeleteIt's On!... I think the count will be... 273!

Wow look at everyone who signed up and it's on the first day! :)
ReplyDeleteI signed up! And yeah, I got up EARLY this morning to sign up and I'm still #93!
ReplyDeleteThis is getting to be a tradition. Christmas, New Year's, A to Z.
ReplyDeleteI have already signed in , no:22. looking forward to the challenge as always,
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Holy moly, that list is long. I can't post every day. As it is, I'm blogging everyday to catch up with the comments I get on my three-times-a-week posts. I'd never catch up if I posted everyday. And I'd be so tired, I would have to take the entire May off to recover. ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I'm betting 350 by the end of the day.
Yahoo! I'm signed up and over the week-end got the letter A scheduled! I can't believe this is my third year doing this!
ReplyDeleteWow. Super long list! I can't commit to that kind of thing, but I applaud all those who do and actually manage to keep it up!
ReplyDelete~JD
i love the (is is gif?) image you have for the a-z challenge.
ReplyDeletemakes me think that maybe i could do it...
I'll go with 500. That was my original goal and I think we can do that!
ReplyDeleteHmm... I might skip April altogether. LOL! Just kidding. You guys are very cool. And ambitious. shew. I think I'll have to miss this year, but geaux! <3
ReplyDeleteNot even an hour had had passed once the list came up and there were over 80 signed up so my guess is there will be over 500 before the end of the day :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!
ReplyDeleteYou covered it well. And we're off. Now I gotta stop staring at Jeremy's animated badge so I can get busy here.

Tossing It Out
Damn...that's a lot of people signed up...I think I just got overwhelmed...
ReplyDeleteI would love to but just can't this year. Baby #3 is gonna be consuming all of my time. Next year though, definitely!
ReplyDeleteGosh! I can't commit to this right now, but I guess I'll be reading lots of posts in April. Good luck to all of you who plan on doing A-Z.
ReplyDeleteIt's a huge list already!! I have to mull, but I'm so tempted.
ReplyDeleteI totally entered this challenge. I feel like I can do it.
ReplyDeleteThis was one that I really enjoyed watching last year. I never do these, but this one tempts me!
ReplyDeleteWell I have officially signed up. I signed up this morning and 162 people were in front of me. This is going to be amazing.
ReplyDeleteAll signed up. =D
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I don't think I'm going to do the blogger challenge but I'll definitely look forward to visiting a lot of new blogs!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for an A to B challenge. I'm very dangerous over short distances.
ReplyDeleteYee hawwww! Here we go!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt. Got it done on time this round. Thanks to your post.
ReplyDeleteIf I mulled I'd never sign up. I'm for diving in and hoping I can swim!
ReplyDeleteAlready signed up - so excited and nervous.
ReplyDeleteI signed up 15 minutes ago, and there's already 7 new additions since then :O Oh my!
ReplyDeleteLooks like this will be another successful year for the A to Z blog challenge. I've added my name to the linky list. So excited. Now to organize...or something like that :-0
ReplyDeletei think i've officially decided to pass again this year. I just have so much going on and it's only going to get worse by the time april rolls around
ReplyDeleteAlex, me thinks closing on 500, maybe over that? ;)
ReplyDelete♥.•*¨Elizabeth¨*•.♥
I can't wait to do this again! Whooo!
ReplyDeleteHmm... I'm still not sure about the A-Z. I want to because it's my 1yr blogging anniversary, but damn, it's a lot of work. Or, rather, a lot of planning ahead, which I suck at.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you guys will hit the 1000 mark? I wouldn't be surprised!
ReplyDeleteI signed up this morning. Think I'm #118.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, zat is ze loooong list, my zery zery, popular friend (confession: reading HP book four with my boy and can't help talking like Madame Maxine)! HAVE A GOOD WEEK!
ReplyDeleteI've signed up--that's one long list! And it's only the first day.
ReplyDeleteLove the GIF.
Alright. I'm in this year. =)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the time but I don't. May the force be with you.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to follow you! I participated last year and loved it! Looking forward to it again this year!
ReplyDeleteBecause Matthew said so.
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to live vicariously through you.
ReplyDeleteI know what you're talking about and I'm #301! Woot!
ReplyDeleteWOW. What a great response. I'm starting to think (stress?) about my posts already :-)
ReplyDeleteI promised myself that I'd participate this year and even started on some posts in advance. A big part of it to me would be finding new blogs and exposing my own to new people. That is the part that scares me. I don't think I'll have the time to do it all justice. We'll see...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I could do a post every day. I'm on the fence. Hmmmm?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about it. I love a good blogfest though this one is rather daunting. Blogging every day? Yowza! Keeping it short? Yikes! But maybe, just maybe...
ReplyDeleteJust signed up for A to Z today! Very excited.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can commit to blogging each day in April--you know, the old, writing-has-to-come-first right now thing. However, I will join in the fun, and visit with people on the linky list. :) Good luck, everyone!
ReplyDeleteDo you truly make sense of the submission process? If so, I'll return often.
ReplyDeleteIt's great you signed on as a host to the A to Z challenge. This will be my third year, because I love it.
I am a little amped and scared at the same time. I entered both my blogs, so I'll have to do some fine planning, since that will be twelve posts a week and more than 1000 blogs in 31 days.
ReplyDeleteNo. I don't so small goals. :-D
You have a cool code-y thingy too! I love those. Best of luck on the challenge! I don't think I can hack it. And by "think" I mean "know."
ReplyDeleteAll right, you convinced me. I'm #361. Even got all the topics lined up except for U, X, and Z.
ReplyDeleteI had fun doing this the year before, especially with the drop caps I use, but I wonder if I could commit to it again... It'll be lots of fun following all of you, though!
ReplyDeleteI need to move my list from my blog post, too. I hadn't decided when I should do it, but I didn't think about it slowing my page. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteShannon at The Warrior Muse, co-host of the 2012 A-to-Z Challenge!
I decided to sign up for the A to Z challenge. I am using today to check out the blogs of the hosts and say hello.
ReplyDeleteHi - thanks for commenting on my blog and being our A-Z mentor type person. Liking your helpful cover letter queries - may come in useful for me soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for the challenge. I will have a busy day tomorrow getting ready. Why do things come around all of a sudden?
