The following are the links to the Google Forms for experienced users who want to fill out the forms in advance. Please remember that the links must be Direct Links to your post.
Sign Up Instructions and Tutorials: http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/2018/03/master-list-sign-ups.html
Will the scheduled direct links convert to the daily posts? In other words if the url shows to be a 'preview' when posted to the daily list, will it change as a live post on the day scheduled. I am in Blogger, and that is the 'preview' option is the only way I can see to post to the list in advance. I hope this a clearer than mud question.
ReplyDeleteSue, no the preview link won't work. I use Blogger as well. On the right hand side there is a clickable link for PERMALINK. Click that, then click the button for CUSTOM PERMALINK. That will assign either the link before it's published. By default, it will use the post title. I assigned my own name. You can do either way.
DeleteBUT, to get the correct URL you need to do this.
1) Assign the custom permalink and click DONE
2) Click PERMALINK again and highlight the assigned full URL shown...don't change anything. Click DONE.
Thanks...I think I did it. Good directions for a step by step learner. Is there anyway you can check it for correctness before I go to the next letters? If not I will wait for Sunday. If I did it right, it should be on the Daily List...right? I've been on blogger since 2009 and never knew about the permalink. Sure glad I asked. I bet I'm not the only Blogger user that would benefit from your directions.
DeleteThanks again,
Sue at CollectInTexas Gal
Wish I could but they haven't published the link to the daily lists themselves, just the form to enter them. Glad I could help...I've used Blogger since 2006 and only dabbled with the permalinks in the last couple of years. LOL! We tend to use what we need, especially with something new. Guess we will see tomorrow!
DeleteI've just done my first post - what now? I've done the Google form thing, but where do I find what other people have posted? And how do they find me without looking at a speadsheet?
ReplyDeleteHere's the LINK TO LETTER A SPREADSHEET https://goo.gl/CeRMy3

ReplyDeleteCan I still join in?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! You can join in by posting your link on the daily forms. The list of links will publish each day with the post on the A to Z page.
DeleteYou can also comment on other people's blogs! That's one of the best ways to participate.
Happy blogging!

This is my 3rd year in the AtoZChallenge. In the previous years, I would have to take a copy of my post link and post that link on a certain page. I don't see where I am suppose to link my post for the challenge. Can someone tell me, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHello! You can post your daily links on the forms above. The list of links will be provided each day in the post we make on www.a-to-zchallenge.com

Hello team! Like a few others I don't know where the time has gone. (no excuse, but seriously, it has gone somewhere without me knowing) LOL
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm as confused as a few others. I did go and read the related posts regarding signing up to the master list - which I understand is now closed.
I have been adding my daily posts to the daily link page, but... I don't know where to find the daily posts of others.
Is it all based on the master list - if so, I guess that's where I'll start, though no one else will see what I've posted.
Now, I get it, the list is close... but... really, I figured it would be open for a day or two afterwards.
Anyhow, if it's not doable, it's not doable... no worries. I'll get back to doing my own thing.
Cheers, Jenny - Happy blogging. :)
Hello! Each day, when new posts go up on the A to Z Blog, the Daily Lists are also published. So anyone who views the daily lists will see your links.
DeleteThe other great way to get your blog viewed is to comment on others' blogs.
We'll do a survey at the end of the month, so keep your suggestions in mind for how we can improve!

So, with a little more looking I realize it's pointless adding a direct link to my posts as there is nowhere for them to show up. So sad...
ReplyDeleteThat won't stop me for Tweeting and posting anyway. However, I do think this new system is missing something. Feels to mechanical, lost an element of "people" in the mix.
Good luck with it all. Cheers, Jenny :)
http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/2018/04/ This page lists the letters and a link to the day's posts from other bloggers. Scroll down and you'll find links to each letter. I agree, they were hard to find...
DeleteHere is the link for today - "c" --
If you wish to visit other blogs in this bloghop challenge who have incorporated today's letter into their current post, please click:

When we post each day at www.a-to-zchallenge.com the lists are published then, too. This page is provided merely as a way to allow people to put their links up if they pre-scheduled their posts. The biggest complaint from last year was that you couldn't publish your link until the day of, which didn't allow for anyone to pre-schedule.
DeleteAt the end of the month we'll be doing a survey, and we'll be happy to hear your suggestions and make adjustments for the future!
Happy blogging!

I forgot to add my 'G' post when I put it up and now the list is no longer available to add to. How can I add it? https://kjscrim.com/2018/04/07/g-is-for-geography/
ReplyDeleteThe list closes 48 hours after it opens, but you've posted it here, so people can access it that way!

Quite a few dead links...how does that happen?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can think of is that people don't post the correct links? Sorry to hear that, though!
DeleteMy name has not appeared on the masterlist even though I registered 3 days before the campaign began. Can anything be done now?
ReplyDeleteWe have the daily lists for just that reason. :) You can also comment on blogs!
DeleteHere is the link to my S post. The theme is Aussie Children's Writers, the letter is S Is For Seven Little Australians

Uh-oh. I've been posting the permalink to the daily list, but I used the automatic one, not the custom. I think that will still work. Fingers crossed it does. I haven't bothered to check for my link because there are so many bloggers listed. Thanks for this A to Z opportunity to promote our blogs. What a huge job you have.

Where is the X list? I've been waiting and waiting... it's now the 28th here, which means evening of the 27th for you. I think there must be a problem. It should have been up hours ago.
ReplyDeleteThe lists don't auto-post, but if you read our daily posts, that's where they have been all along. :) Glad to know you're accessing them here, too.

I thought I posted the exact X one for the Story Crossroads blog, though here it is: https://storycrossroads.com/2018/04/27/x-is-for-xhosa-xenial-xenodochial-a-to-z-blog-challenge/. Theme of Mythology and Folklore.
ReplyDeleteIs there a glitch in the lists? I haven't seen one since "W". X,Y, and Z aren't listed. I just posted my Z. Everyone can check it out at: http://kjscrim.com/2018/04/30/z-is-for-zoo/

Do you have a 2018 survivor badge? I'm not seeing it.
ReplyDeleteI had the same question. I've seen them on other blogger's sites, but I can't find it.
DeleteWhen is the Road Trip starting ???
ReplyDeleteThe 23rd. :) Soon!
