I've visited other sites and seen a number of ways to improve my own reviews. Plus, now I have a whole pile of books to read because my theme is "books I'd like to read". Well, prettty much gotta read and review them now!<br /><br />Sometimes it is a bit hard to find the time but usually it only takes 10 minutes and is doable. But, I will be kind of relieved when I'm done.Darlene E Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437539322744465125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-32308543716583360932012-04-18T18:00:59.133+00:002012-04-18T18:00:59.133+00:00Thanks for the encouragement, it's good to kno...Thanks for the encouragement, it's good to know you're rooting for us into the home straights.<br /><br />This is my very first A-Z Challenge and I have to say, it's helped me build awareness to my theme: Greece and all things Greek.<br /><br />Thanks for all the tips too - hope to see you all at the finishing line!<br /><br />Bex<br />www.leavingcairo.blogspot.com<br />Twitter: AdventureGreeceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896832888635376002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-8971308859551718362012-04-18T17:03:27.283+00:002012-04-18T17:03:27.283+00:00Thank you for the words of encouragement!

Of course, participants are free to read blogs whenever they have spare time. But the challenge itself could be structured in a way that it is held over two months. In one format writing in the first month and reading in second month. The other format could be write on one day and read on the other day.Narayana Rao K.V.S.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00137977090611542246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-57281829652758168602012-04-18T14:17:09.830+00:002012-04-18T14:17:09.830+00:00Whoo!

Also, I just had a good laugh at the end of Tina's comment about the men in white coats, lol. <br /><br />I don't have word verification on my blog. Now, I'm at a point in the challenge where I'll still comment on blogs that have captchas IF I like the blog. <br /><br />Maybe it's just a personal thing for me...yes, it's VERY annoying to find them but if I like what I read or the blog overall and I have something to say, I'm willing to forgive a little word verification bumps in the road...and my new perspective on blog captchas do not apply to everyone who still has them turned on. It only applies to those blogs and posts where I really want to leave a comment, if for nothing else, to at least show some support during this massive A to Z beast that we're all trying our best to tackle this month.<br /><br /><br />~Nicole<br />Blog: <a href="http://www.madlabpost.com/" rel="nofollow">The Madlab Post</a><br />-and-<br /><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MadlabPost" rel="nofollow">@MadlabPost</a> on TwitterNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965945636486620938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-50199877913140028622012-04-17T20:48:02.898+00:002012-04-17T20:48:02.898+00:00I was a little late to the dance and didn't si...I was a little late to the dance and didn't sign up until the end of March, but I'm hanging in there and learning a lot.Elizabethhttp://transitional-woman.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-83569024225616802942012-04-17T20:07:44.390+00:002012-04-17T20:07:44.390+00:00Our thanks to all of you bloggers who have taken h...Our thanks to all of you bloggers who have taken heed of this advice.

I've heard from bloggers that they have no traffic, and then when I visit I find it almost impossible to find where to comment (those non-blogger blogs are much harder - sorry, I'm just not used to them) and then when I do, there's the no robot again and I want to scream THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE NO COMMENTS! No offense meant to anyone. Just please turn the damn thing OFF! If you make it easy to comment, you will get more. Ok, rant off. Feel much better now. as men in little white coats leave the room...<br /><a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tina @ Life is Good</a><br /><a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">Co-Host of the April A to Z Challenge</a> <br />Twitter: @AprilA2Z #atozchallengeTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-35111623795774812482012-04-17T18:53:28.614+00:002012-04-17T18:53:28.614+00:00I am carrying on regardless , have had two shots i...I am carrying on regardless , have had two shots in my painful shoulders it's still painful but I won't give up.<br /><br />Yvonne.RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-80603245454546632902012-04-17T18:43:34.105+00:002012-04-17T18:43:34.105+00:00I've barely been keeping up.
