  4. A question: perhaps I misread but in this post it said the theme reveal day is March 16; on the signup form it said March 18. Could you clarify which date it is?

  8. Lee,

    I just signed up for the April blog fest. Also, I sent you an email with a question. I'm looking forward to participating another year. This will be my 7th year at it! Thanks for keeping the ball rolling, my friend. Have a good day!

  10. I'm so behind this year, since I've yet to finalize my theme for my main blog or pick one for my secondary blog! I have to move fast.

  11. Alana -- good eyes!!! It's fixed now. The whole team missed that typo. March 16 is the right date.

  13. Looking forward to taking part again this year, but disappointed there is still no separate category for short story and flash fiction writers. Once again I'll be lumped in with blogs lecturing me how to write, something I do not want advice on!

  14. Hi everyone! It was my first time last year and it was so unplanned. Yet, I just about managed. Looking forward to my second innings and a great spell of camaraderie!

  21. This is my second outing with April A to Z challenge and I am nervous as well as excited. Till today, I was not sure whether to take part or skip it. But the lure of the challenge was so strong that I took a leap of faith and decided to join the caravan. Hope I survive the challenge. Keeping fingers crossed.
    I wish you all a very happy A to Z Challenge 2020!

  22. Hi Arlee, I’ve been working on a new blog (getting the website, design and blog up and running) I’ve finally made the switch to WP from Blogger and it’s been quite a learning curve. I debated whether or not to do the challenge this year because I wasn’t sure I could get my site ready, but I managed to pull it all together just in time so I’m eager to participate. I’m really excited to see so many names of people participating from the past along with new participants, I’m delighted many of the veteran A-Z bloggers are returning after some took a year, two or longer hiatus.

    I didn’t think I would make the theme reveal, but I see that I can still post my theme as long as it’s posted by tomorrow, Thursday, March 26, 2020. I’m certainly going to make every effort.

    Here’s my question and I really hope you can help. I hate to even bother you so close to April 1st; I know you have so much going on. I’ve participated many years in the past. I haven’t always finished, but it’s felt like an amazing accomplishment the years I did. Every year I participated, I wrote from my former blog, my writing blog, http://MelissaSugarWrites.com , which is a blogger blog. So I was always logged in via Google. This allowed me to automatically comment on all blogger blogs. I had a slightly more difficult time commenting on WP blogs, but when I ran across one I truly found worth my time and interest, I figured out a way to comment.
    I was extremely grateful for the Wordpress bloggers who offered numerous comment options such as commenting via Luv, Facebook, Twitter, Disqus or some other similar commenting system that only required me to login ONCE to the commenting system and it then remembered or stored my login information for subsequent blogs.

    Now that I will be blogging from and asking people to comment on my WP
    Blog can you advice me how to best comment on Blogger Blogs. I thought of just using my former blogger login, but that could cause mass confusion if it sends others to my former blog rather than my new lifestyle blog that I hope to promote and gain new friends and followers during the 2020 challenge.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Take care

    Thanks for keeping this going again

  23. Hello from Beijing! Recording experiences during this pandemic, through writing or producing content, is the most cathartic way to navigate these uncertain times.

    My Blogging from A to Z April Challenge theme for this year is "Pandemic Journal." I'm joining it not for the likes or views but for my future self -- to tell him the reflections, stories, and efforts that have helped me survive my generation's biggest challenge. Here is the link to my theme reveal: http://coolkidandy.com/2020/03/29/atozchallenge-2020-theme-reveal-pandemic-journal/
