The Disappearance of Bloganuary

For the last two years, I have participated in #Bloganuary, a WordPress challenge. Bloggers are invited to produce a daily post based on a specific prompt.

This was the perfect challenge for me! As an undisciplined blogger, my approach is best described as ad hoc. I usually write posts whenever an idea strikes rather than sticking to a regular schedule.

Some bloggers produce a daily post, while others post weekly or monthly. I am full of good intentions, but I don’t necessarily deliver. You can imagine my delight at completing Bloganuary 2023 and 2024!

By participating in Bloganuary 2025, I wanted to make it a hat-trick. In December, I eagerly awaited notification from WordPress that bloggers should register their interest in Bloganuary 2025. Nothing, nada, zilch, zero, naught – you get my drift. Another challenge was suggested instead which didn’t appeal to me.

Not to be put off, I decided instead to approach Bloganuary 2025 differently. I planned to post throughout January using #dailyprompt – problem solved!  Again, I was thwarted. The daily prompt for January 1st 2025 is the same as for Bloganuary last year.

Back to the drawing board. My latest plan is to try blogging every day in February, according to the word prompt of the day. Does ‘Blogruary’ sound bizarre?!
