When I realized that the letter T fell on a Thursday this year I KNEW I had to do a Throwback Thursday (#TBT) post for you all!
So I asked all the co-hosts to send me a link to their very first A post for the Challenge. It's fun to see how long we all have been participating - turns out 2012 was a good crop year for co-hosts - and also how our topics (and comments!) have changed. Click on our links below to take a step back in time!

I was going to post the #1 single on the charts on April 1, 2010 but it was a song by Rihanna and I made y'all suffer through twerking last week so I didn't think it would be nice to do that to you again :)
And also because it's T and this fits into the Throwback theme, Tina's post welcoming me to Tina's Terrific Team in 2013 after she cajoled me into giving her an embarrassing childhood photo... <3

Stephen's been around since the second Challenge but Blogger ate that blog.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised with mine from 2010.
Will check out the others.
And I sent my T post instead of my A post - sorry!
DeleteHaha that's ok. You can fix it if you want :)
DeleteT for a Throwback. Hank is new in the game though:

Wow, I didn’t realize that I have participated in the challenge since 2012. I went back to my A post in 2012. Hmm, pretty good. I enjoyed reading it :)

This is my first challenge. I am surrounded by such prolific writers....I didn't know what I was getting myself into... but it has been fun. Been blogging for years as a place for my thoughts.

Of course I had to go and see what Arlee posted since this is his brainchild...very cool. I love the idea of a Throwback Thursday A to Z post :) That's actually not a bad idea for a theme!

My first post for the challenge was memorable because I got married that day and talked about that. Maybe that's why I'm so fond of this challenge. =D

HOLLYWOOD NUTS!
Come Visit: You know you want to know if me or Hollywood... is Nuts?
I was so nervous that year and so excited when I got 13 comments. And your childhood picture is adorable.
ReplyDeleteAnd this was a great idea. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together.
ReplyDeleteHi AJ - what a great post .. with all the links and reminding us of how far the Challenge has come - I was one of Tina's minions for a couple of years .. this year is so sad - we had such a great relationship ...
ReplyDeleteGreat T for Thursday .. cheers Hilary
What a cool roundup of how far all of the co-hosts have come since their first foray into A-Z land and yes T for Tina fits nicely into this Throwback Thursday theme! I cannot believe I've been doing the challenge since 2011. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I could jam to Rihanna all day long. In fact, I did that very thing one day last week. It was a blast :)

Oh, I love me some Rihanna. The song was bad boy and the video is a bit racy, so.. Since I treated everyone to some pretty juicy twerking last week I figured it wouldn't be nice to put up something so steamy again :)
DeleteWhat a great post! I think this was a great idea. I love going back to read our old stuff!
ReplyDeleteHeather
Thanks :)
DeleteMe too, what Heather said! I read everyone's except Matthew's because his link just went to a youtube video! OMG, mine was so WORDY and no graphics and boy, a lot has changed since then, thank goodness! Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
ReplyDeleteDid you notice what the video was? :)
DeleteOh boy, this is a good one, and I better go do mine real quick. Maybe someone will stop by hehehe Love this idea, but not to worry I thought of something else. Thanks for sharing though. have a good night!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure what to expect that first year, but haven't missed it since then, even when I tell myself I can't :D
ReplyDeletethis is a first time for me - I never took part in AZ challenge before... and I am already scared - what will happen in May? And June? and so on? :D are there any other challenges for the rest of the year?
ReplyDeleteThis was such a great throwback!
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea for the thursday throwback!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI visited a few old A-posts...
Very interesting to see that there were 1718 sign-ups for the 2012 challenge.
