My blog is called The Chronicles of Loving a Heroin Addict. One of my newest posts is called: End the Stigma Stop the Shame https://memorialvigil.blogspot.com/2017/03/stop-shame-and-end-stigma.html
This is the post using the code. I'm not sure if it works
End The Stigma Stop The Shame
Gonna try this again. My recent post is about the pictures I took for the first few days in March as part of the 365 picture project I am doing. Looking forward to participating in the A to Z!
Me in March
Try... and try again!? I've been waiting (and preparing) for almost a year for the 2017 A to Z... so, this better be good!!
My website is called THE DOGLADY'S DEN and you will find all of my 2017 A to Z posts HERE. That's way too time consuming! This is the actual link: http://thedogladysden.com/atozchallenge-2017/ (Just right click and go to.)
You'll find a grid page for all my latest posts HERE, or, http://thedogladysden.com/blog
FYI: If you're commenting on a Wordpress blog, it will make your link clickable without going through the whole "a href=..." stuff.
My A to Z posts have all been formatted, but as for the actual writing, I'm only up to "F", so far. Yikes! Time's a wastin'...
I'm taking part in the April 2017 challenge!

Hi from co-host J!
Blog of J Lenni Dorner
Here's a little flash fiction to keep the ball rolling.
Only the word "HERE" was actually hyperlinked/ clickable.
The A to Z challenge uses Blogger, not Wordpress.
Yes, your coding worked. Great job!
You did it! Great job.
Just a completely random post I just put up about going to see the Monster Trucks last night

Pattern Recognition
Yes, the hyperlinks were the word "HERE". The others aren't clickable, but if you highlight them, then right-click, it shows "go to". Just another option. There are plenty of us on Wordpress participating in the A to Z as well. My point is, if you find yourself wanting to leave a link on somebody's Wordpress blog post, the link will be automatically clickable. You don't need to go through the whole a href="http...." etc.
Here goes. Hoping that this works and I can go and cook dinner!

My blog is Sorchia's Universe. Here's my latest post
Fortune Tellers and Soothsayers
Mine is a very short piece I wrote for The Sunday Whirl prompt a week ago, using the 12 given words.
My story is called 'HELP US'
After leaving my comment and link I thought I’d visit those above mine. I was hoping to come across fellow flash fiction writers. The problem is, one has to jump blindly into other’s blogs with no idea of which genre they post in. It would be a great help if each comment started with a category eg. history, poetry, flash fiction, crafts et cetera.
Incidentally, I’ve use the link for many years and it really is a great way to increase your hit rate.

Hi I'm Debby and will be joining with the A-Z challenge in April. My first one was in 2013. Then I skipped a year, didn't finish a year and completed last year. So this is really my 3rd year. Usually I would "wing it" every day. This year I have a theme, and have half of my posts scheduled so I will succeed this year!!! I am excited. It's always nice to meet new and interesting people from all over and am looking forward to it all. Now I hope I did the linky thing right....We'll see.

Hey Heather! I have a related comment. When in the day will the daily A to Z letter become active? I am in the EDT time zone, so on WordPress that means at 7 PM the new day begins. Are you guys similar in your operation?

The post I've decided to share is my Confessions Of A Bookworm post.

Hello.
Some participants use a theme of their choosing for all the letters of the alphabet. Some do not choose a theme. It's completely optional and up to you what you would like to do. There will be a Theme Reveal on March 20th, when you can let your blog readers and other A to Z participants know what your April posts will be about.
Best of luck!

I think I see what I did wrong. Trying it again. Here is a link to my latest blog post
Yippee!
I had an issue yesterday as well so trying again with the link.
Here are my thoughts:I participated in the A to Z challenge for the first time last year & loved it. I'm jazzed to do it again. I have no problem with learning some new tricks in the techy world. I amazed at the rants people are writing. I'm grateful for your efforts to teach us these things. I found the list very cumbersome & a moving target. This will be interesting and I;m sure some tweaking will occur as it moves along.

I'm very excited to participate in the A-Z Challenge again this year! I had so much fun last year, met several wonderful bloggers, and developed a daily writing routine. Hopefully this link will work... it is my summary of last year's challenge.

A thought about filtering--If you guys could provide a list of specific category words like Cats or ShortStories or something like that, those of us who post here can include that word on our post. Then visitors can just hit F3 to filter. MIght not work on FB, but would help here.

i just came to know about the challenge, commented somewhere else too, thinking that was the way to participate, until i read this post. but i didn't quite understand about 'Theme Reveal' and how exactly should i be going around through the challenge.
i was just browsing your site, but couldn't really find a link which explains A-Z challenge explicitly, as in how to participate, and the process to post each day blog/post. I would appreciate if you would help me with the same. As its already 17th today and 20th March is the Theme Reveal (which i haven't figured out what is), i have quite less time to prepare (if i need to).
Looking for a revert soon.
Thanks.
Is there an email reminder list that sends us updates about A to Z things like this practice session. It would be helpful, rather than having to check this blog all of the time.
This blog post of mine is about the Night Work I do... Dreaming.

Thank you for your interest in the Blog Challenge.
I'm going to leave you links to check out to get more information, but basically, we post for each letter in the alphabet.
There is a letter schedule located on the top right side of this page.
For 2017 there will not be a sign up list.
After you post Letter A to your own blog, come leave your link on this blog in the comments of our Letter A post.
The Theme Reveal is optional, but if you have one and would like to share it, that's on March 20th.
We also have a FB page you can post on.
https://www.facebook.com/atozchallenge/
Please use the hashtag #atozchallenge when using social media.

Hi, I am going to be blogging at: http://textdefender.blogspot.com/
Since its past reveal day, I don't mind telling you all my topic will be related to politics. Specifics to be outlined on the site soon!
I'm late to the party, but I'll be participating again this year even though I'm trying to finish a novel at the same time. Yikes. My blog is The Tale Traveler Julie Weathers. It got hacked and deleted so I'm just getting it back up. Here is the latest post, which isn't recent, about the opium bed. My novel is about a female spy in the Civil War, so I'll be blogging about the Civil War and possibly sharing bits from The Rain Crow.
I hope I did this right.

I'm even later to the party than Julie ( above) but at least I made it.
