Leadership #AtoZChallenge 2026

Our team theme this month is “Aspirations: Blogging hopes, dreams, and goals”.

What does it mean to take a leadership role in blogging? 

We keep hearing over and over again that blogging is outdated. That people are migrating to newer, quicker, more streamlined platforms that allow faster posting, more content, and less time spent on reading.

And yet, here we are. Doing a blogging challenge. Not only blogging, but blogging every day in April, and for years and years in-between.

So what makes someone a leader in blogging?

Here are a few of my thoughts:

- Integrity. Being true to your interests, your voice, and your preferences. No giving in to the "more, more, faster, faster!" pressure of social media. Taking the time to post throughtful things.

- Community. Supporting other bloggers, boosting their posts, commenting, connecting. Not only shouting into the void, but listening to others.

- Craft. Posting well written text, well selected pictures, original thoughts. Not giving into copyright infringement or plagiarism for the sake of faster production. Holding others to the same standard and boosting the ones who are posting quality content.

- Sharing. Not hiding everything behind paywalls, not trying to sell something in every single post. Participating in the gift economy by sharing advice, information, curiosities, resources freely online. Making the internet a more open space along with other bloggers.

It's your turn now! What would make someone a leader in the blogging sphere?

K is for Knowledge

#AtoZChallenge 2026 letter K
MASTER LIST https://tinyurl.com/mu5vjy48


Our team theme this month is “Aspirations: Blogging hopes, dreams, and goals”.

Why do you blog?

Personally, I blog to share the knowledge I’ve gained through trial-and-error, researching my favourite topics, and whatever else I think others might be interested in. I keep to writing/publishing advice, folklore, and book reviews.

The knowledge I share is something others find of value (at least, according to my blog’s stats). One of my blogging hopes is that the knowledge I have, however obscure or niche, will find its audience.

Why do you blog? What knowledge do you share with others?

J is for Journey #AtoZChallenge


MASTER LIST


Our team theme this month is “Aspirations: Blogging hopes, dreams, and goals”.

J is for Journey


I would like to share some quotes about journeys:
  • "Life is a journey, not a destination." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao Tzu
  • "Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien
  • "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust
Let's see if we can adapt these for blogging:
  • Blogging is a journey, not a destination.
  • The journey of a thousand blogs begins with a single step.
  • Not all those who wander to all of the A to Z blogs are lost.
  • The real voyage of discovering new blogs, consists not in seeking new blog posts, but in having new eyes.
Some are better than others, but you get the idea!

I have known all of these quotes, or at least some version of them, since I was very young. They serve as good reminders as we think about aspirations. Sometimes reaching the goal feels anticlimactic after all you have to go through to get there. So remember, whether your goal is blogging-related or life-related (some might even say those are equivalent!), each step is important. None more so than the first one. We are 10 posts in! It's not too late to catch up if you fell behind!
